Since 1997 the International Association of Chiefs of Police has been actively supporting smaller agencies through the Smaller Agency Technical Assistance Program funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). In 2003, in partnership with BJA, the program was expanded to include a New Police Chief Mentoring initiative. The focus of the project is to provide newer police chiefs from smaller agencies with access to seasoned chiefs from similar sized agencies to learn how they achieved success and resolved similar problems.
The project is designed to render leadership and policy guidance to new chiefs as they begin their tenure through mentoring assistance and through the dissemination of the Police Chiefs Desk Reference (PCDR). The PCDR, a major component of the project contains a wealth of resources to assist chiefs in their new role. There is information on leadership, ethics, policies and procedures, accreditation, funding, sample internal and community surveys, as well as best practices guides written specifically for smaller agencies on a wide range of topics.
Many other resource listings, summaries, and web site referrals, are also incorporated into the reference. This resource has had an overwhelming response since its release in November. All sizes and types of agencies and levels of staff are requesting the product. The New Police Chief Mentoring Project is also working with state associations to incorporate the document into their trainings, command school, and university curriculum in several states.
