Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police

What Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police does

The Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is a nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1926 that serves law enforcement executives and agencies across the state of Indiana. The organization is governed by a board of directors with elected representatives from ten local districts and is led by an Executive Director (Lane Velayo, CAE) alongside an officer rotation that includes the President (Scott Shoemaker), 1st Vice President (Steven Flores), and 2nd Vice President (Shawn Keen). IACP connects more than 400 Indiana law enforcement professionals through a members-only directory, weekly newsletter, collective legislative advocacy, and a portfolio of training, accreditation, and recognition programs.

IACP's core offerings span four monetization streams: tiered agency membership dues ($145 for town marshals to $460 for 75+ officer agencies, plus additional command and administrative members), paid training curricula delivered at rotating host departments across Indiana (Police Executive Leadership Academy modules at $750 each or $2,100 bundled, IPS Core Course at $500, Emerging Leader Series at $500/$650, and Reset The Clock at $400), bi-annual conferences (Mid-Winter in January and Summer), and four-tier corporate sponsorships (Bronze $2,000 through Platinum $10,000) with booth space and e-blast benefits. The association also operates the Indiana Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (ILEAC), established in 2005 and appointed by the U.S. Attorney General as Indiana's credentialing body under Executive Order 13929, which makes ILEAC accreditation a gate for DOJ discretionary grants.

The business is a community-led, relationship-driven membership association rather than a technology company; core systems are MemberClicks membership-management SaaS and a WordPress-based website, with no proprietary software platform. Distribution is handled through ten elected district representatives who recruit member agencies by size tier, in-person training delivery at host police departments in cities such as Evansville, Auburn, Clarksville, Martinsville, Michigan City, Lafayette, Dyer, and Frankfort, and an annual conference cadence. IACP has assembled a broad partner ecosystem that includes Stanard & Associates (official public safety testing partner), Lexipol (accreditation webinar partner), Public Safety Medical (medical provider), D.A.R.E. Indiana, Critical Response Group, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, Indiana State Police, and numerous corporate sponsors (Motorola, Flock Safety, MPS Intelligence, L3Harris, BodyWorn by Utility, Fusus, PennyMac, Kiesler Police Supply, John Jones Automotive). The IACP Foundation, a 501(c)(3) established in 2014, houses the Police Executive Leadership Academy and public-awareness activities as a separate corporate entity.
