International Association of Chiefs of Police

How can we better anticipate and respond to the evolving needs of law enforcement agencies? At #IACP2026, representatives from the COPS Office Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC) and its eight partner organizations, FBI National Academy Associates, Inc. (FBINAA), National Fraternal Order of Police, International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, IADLEST, National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives, NOBLE - National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, National Sheriffs' Association, and National Tactical Officers Association came together to discuss the future of technical assistance and how CRI-TAC can continue evolving to meet the changing needs of the field. Through a series of working sessions, partners explored how to identify emerging issues earlier, leverage field expertise, expand peer-to-peer learning opportunities, and develop resources that help agencies address challenges before they become crises. Participants also identified opportunities to increase awareness of CRI-TAC services through strategic outreach, success stories, testimonials, partner networks, and stronger engagement with small, rural, tribal, and underserved agencies. Together, these conversations will help shape future CRI-TAC priorities and ensure agencies continue to have access to timely, practical, and field-informed support when they need it most.

New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Ulam Weiner reflects on the evolving challenges facing law enforcement 25 years after 9/11, emphasizing the importance of digital investigations and strong community partnerships in identifying and preventing threats. “We need to be really smart about understanding things. We need to spend time looking for leads in that digital universe where they’re most likely to appear. We need to be engaging with our communities, because these are threats that are most likely to be observed by local law enforcement.” #IACP2026
