Are you looking to make a difference? When you work for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), you don’t just make a living, you make a difference by shaping the future of the policing profession.

Is it easy? No.

Is it worthwhile? Absolutely.

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is the world’s largest and most influential professional association for police leaders.

With more than 34,000 members in over 170 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 communities by speaking out on behalf of law enforcement and advancing leadership and professionalism in policing worldwide.

As a leadership association, the IACP starts with our members’ needs.

We think strategically and assess constantly; cultivate good judgement and drive change.

IACP seeks to hire a Project Manager to broadly support IACP efforts, and specifically support:
