The DHS Office for State and Local Law Enforcement (OSLLE) launched the Law Enforcement Resource Library, a brand-new searchable library of resources available to state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus law enforcement. The revamped guide allows for users to quickly find targeted resources by browsing through categories or using the new search bar feature, which creates a more user-friendly experience and gives faster access to DHS resources.

Critical Dispatch Podcast
Featuring Jeff Pegues
Leadership Before, During, and After a Mass Shooting

In the latest episode of the Critical Dispatch podcast, Chief Steve Hebbe (formerly of APD) and Deputy Chief Kyle Dowdy of the Farmington, New Mexico, Police Department speak to host Jeff Pegues and pull back the curtain on one of the harshest realities of policing—those who are first to respond to a mass violence incident carry the weight of these tragedies long after they unfold. The response from the Farmington Police Department provides valuable lessons and identifies specific challenges for policing and the resources first responders need before, during, and after such a crisis.

Through training programs such as Hope After Tragedy and VALOR Officer Resilience, IACP is helping agencies foster cultures of support to equip officers with the necessary tools to process critical incidents and maintain their mental and physical well-being. And for agencies looking to strengthen their response strategies to mass violence incidents, IACP’s Mass Violence Advisory Initiative (MVAI) offers expert guidance and actionable solutions.
