After an overwhelmingly positive response from attendees, IACP 2012 will again offer access to IACPtv. This venture serves to raise the visibility of the hard work of our members and to provide an opportunity to learn about law enforcement executives and their communities making a difference.

This venture has two features: “Thought Leadership” and “Conference News.” Thought Leadership is a five-minute film segment highlighting a community’s best practices and features a case study of the community. Conference News is a daily program that will be broadcast at IACP 2012 in San Diego.

The IACP’s contracted partner in this venture, WebsEdge, will be reaching out to several of our members seeking proposals for these feature segments. The IACPtv producers will work directly with individual members to arrange contractual and production details. If you participate in the Thought Leadership segment, there will be production expenses to the department for developing your segment. The costs cover travel to your location, the camera crew, a reporter, film editing, and production.

The IACPtv producer will work with the agencies to be featured and determine the key messages of the five-minute feature and as well as the agency’s own goals for the use of the film. The film will belong to the agency for its own training and education purposes, community outreach, recruitment, partnerships, or any other requirement. The film will be supplied to the agency on reproducible DVDs and as streaming video that can be uploaded to the agency or community website.

The daily IACPtv news programs in which your film will be included will be broadcast in the following ways at IACP 2012 in San Diego:
• On a continuous loop in IACP partner hotels on a dedicated television channel in delegate hotel rooms
• On flat-panel screens around the Convention Center
• On IACPtv DVDs given to members and vendors after the show
• Online on the IACP’s YouTube channel

The programming will be supported by an IACPtv newsletter and program guide, in which all featured members will have a written description.

To get an idea of the quality and style of programming that is being produced, please visit www.youtube.com/TheIACP and select the playlist “Best Practices at Law Enforcement Agencies."
