International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP)
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is the world’s largest and most influential professional association for po-
lice leaders. With more than 31,000 members in over 165 countries, the IACP is a recognized leader in global policing, committed to
advancing safer communities through thoughtful, progressive police leadership. Since 1893, the association has been serving com-
munities worldwide by speaking out on behalf of law enforcement and advancing leadership and professionalism in policing world-
wide.
The IACP is known for its commitment to enhancing community safety by shaping the future of the police profession. Through
timely research, programming, and unparalleled training opportunities, the IACP is preparing current and emerging police leaders -
and the agencies and communities they serve - to succeed in addressing the most pressing issues, threats, and challenges of the day.
The IACP's Vehicle Crime Committee studies, considers, and determines the various methods and means by which vehicle crimes
are committed, including the make and type of vehicles most commonly stolen; surveys, investigates, and evaluates the techniques
and methods employed by the police and other agencies in solving and reducing the incidence of vehicle crimes cases; and reports to
this Association for the dissemination to all interested agencies all pertinent information and recommendations that will reduce the
incidence of this major crime. For the purpose of these objectives, the term “vehicle” shall include highway transport vehicles, off-
highway recreational vehicles, boats, industrial and farm equipment, aircraft, and all other forms of transportation not included here-
in.

· Educational Toolkit for Vehicle Crimes
· Vehicle Crime and Auto Theft Educational Awareness Report
