CRI-TAC
Customized Technical Assistance Available to Campus Communities
 
The Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center (CRI-TAC), formed through a partnership between the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), provides free, customized technical assistance solutions designed to meet the unique needs of state, local, tribal, and campus communities throughout the United States. Through CRI-TAC, law enforcement agencies can access the combined experience and resources of the IACP, COPS Office, and eight leading member organizations: Fraternal Order of Police, Major Cities Chiefs Association, FBI National Academy Associates, International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training, National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, and National Tactical Officers Association.
 
Focused on the concept of by the field, for the field, CRI-TAC has a cadre of subject matter experts who offer peer-to-peer consultation, training, and planning. The goal is to provide technical assistance to law enforcement agencies that will enhance their organizational, public safety, crime reduction, and community policing effectiveness while maintaining local control and accountability for effective policing in their communities. CRI-TAC provides the following services: resource referral, web-based training, in-person training, virtual mentoring, meeting facilitation, and on-site consultations.
 
All requests for technical assistance must be received from the chief executive of a law enforcement agency or with expressed authorization from the chief executive of the law enforcement agency. Requesting agencies do not need to be a member of the IACP or any partnering organization to be considered for technical assistance services. The steps in the request process are:
  1. Submit a request online or simply email [email protected]. Tell them what makes your agency unique, such as size and location, and what your challenges are. 
  2. An IACP staff member will contact the requestor and collect additional information.
  3. The CRI-TAC will assess the request and make a determination on type of TA to be delivered.
  4. The CRI-TAC will work with the agency and applicable partner organizations to develop a customized plan to include success metrics and follow-up.
Visit the CRI-TAC website for additional information, to view services, submit a request, and access resources. If you have questions, you may call the IACP at 800.THE.IACP (800-843-4227) and ask to speak to one of the CRI-TAC staff.
