Cast Your Ballot for Donald De Lucca for 4th Vice President of the IACP
September 3, 2013 by Admin
With more than 20,000 members from over 100 countries, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is one of the oldest and most respected law enforcement organizations on Earth. Established in 1893, the association will celebrate its 120th anniversary at its annual conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October of 2013. The event lasts for five days, from the 19th to the 23rd, and features keynote speakers, technical workshops, forums, and an impressive array of products and services for law enforcement professionals.
But after all the fun and festivities conclude, members must get down to business. All annual IACP Conferences involve elections that may alter the makeup of the Board of Officers, which is the group that helps manage and organize IACP events. This year, there are two positions that are up for election—the 4th Vice President position and the Vice-President at Large spot.
Basic requirements
If you would like to join the Board of Officers, you must be an active member of the IACP and a sitting police chief. For the first open spot, the Vice-President at Large will serve one 3-year term that concludes in 2016. For the second spot, however, the 4th Vice President will ascend to the IACP presidency in 2019. It is an important and sought-after position, which is why it is often hotly contested.

Why you should vote for Donald Delucca IACP 2013
Throughout his career, whether as an officer or a chief, Mr. Delucca has always stressed the importance of continued training.

These are the very principles on which the International Association of Chiefs of Police was founded. The architects of the organization believed that only through sharing could police officers gain the upper hand and fight the good fight.
If elected as the 4th Vice President of the IACP, Donald De Lucca will work hard to ensure that all members of the law enforcement community have access to programs that can help them master the skills and tactics they need to do their jobs in the 21st century.
