American Society of Evidence-Based Policing

What American Society of Evidence-Based Policing does

The American Society of Evidence-Based Policing (ASEBP) is a private professional membership society dedicated to advancing evidence-based policing practices among law enforcement professionals and criminal justice researchers. Its product surface is organized around four offerings: individual memberships (the core commercial product, monetized via recurring subscription-style dues), an annual conference (currently in its 10th iteration), publicly available research briefs distributed to broaden reach, and community guidelines that structure member interaction. The underlying technology is a standard deployment of Hivebrite's community engagement platform, which powers member networking, threaded discussions, and resource sharing rather than any proprietary system.

ASEBP serves two primary segments: law enforcement personnel (officers, detectives, sheriffs) seeking research-backed methods for operational policing, and academics/researchers studying policing effectiveness who use the society as a dissemination channel to practitioners. The go-to-market motion is community-led, with the website (americansebp.org) functioning as the top-of-funnel acquisition surface and the Hivebrite platform as the mid-funnel engagement layer; the annual conference anchors brand presence and serves as both a recruitment and retention event. Distribution is self-serve and individual-direct, with global geographic scope and no institutional sales motion.

Commercial mechanics rely entirely on membership fees across multiple tiers; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires inquiry or member login. There is no disclosed headcount, no office location beyond a cloud-hosted digital footprint, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no funding rounds—consistent with a small association-type entity rather than a venture-backed or institutional operation. Operating status is confirmed active through ongoing website maintenance, the 10th Annual Conference, and the public research publication stream.
