This week, IACP presented a workshop at the 7th Annual National Co-Responder Conference in Dallas, Texas, on supporting human trafficking victims with substance use disorders.

The session, “First Surviving, Then Thriving: Co-response and Deflection for Human Trafficking Victims with Substance Use Disorders,” featured Sabrina Fernandez (IACP), Sergeant Tarik Muslimovic (Arlington Police Department) and Amanda Pettit (Rescue Hill), who shared their insights on using co-response and deflection to connect victims to care.

From trauma-informed engagement to survivor-centered program design, the conversation highlighted how partnerships between law enforcement, behavioral health professionals, and service providers can create safe, effective pathways to recovery.

Policy encompasses more than mere documentation; it constitutes the fundamental framework that police officers rely on when making split-second decisions under significant pressure. A new article examines how clarity, structure, training, supervision, and leadership alignment shape decision-making in the field, and why policy architecture matters as much as policy language itself.

As we recognize Gun Safety Awareness Month, pediatricians and law enforcement professionals are coming together around a shared message: safe storage saves lives.

Fi****ms are now the leading cause of death for children and teens.

🔒 4.6M children live in homes with unlocked, loaded guns.
🔹 Locking just 20% could prevent up to 135 youth deaths a year.

Being a responsible gun owner means securing your fi****ms.

Watch the new video series from IACP, in partnership with On Call 4 Kids, on the IACP website to hear from pediatricians and law enforcement officers working together to keep kids safe and families protected. 💙 https://www.theiacp.org/working-group/committee/fi****ms-committee
