Posted: August 17th, 2011 11:16 AM
Alexandria, VA - Chief Jeffrey Groth has been chosen as one of 30 law enforcement executives from across the country to participate in the 15th National Law Enforcement Leadership Institute on Violence Against Women hosted by The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). Through the Institute experience, IACP intends to raise the response to violence against women crimes higher on law enforcement's agenda and support the adoption of best practices by the officers in the City of Sherwood Police Department.
During the four-day Institute taking place in Seattle, WA, Chief Groth, along with the other selected participants, will explore innovative approaches for investigating crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Additional attention will center on assessing agency performance and sharing challenges and solutions with law enforcement colleagues.
In an effort to help law enforcement agencies enhance their response to crimes of violence against women, the National Institute will focus on planning and methods for effective resource allocation to help crime victims and hold perpetrators accountable. The participating law enforcement executives will be engaged in the development of action plans throughout the Institute in order to adopt new strategies for pro-active coordinated community collaboration upon returning to their departments.
Expenses for participants to attend the Institute are covered under a grant to the IACP from the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
