On March 26–27, IACP trained 80 traffic agents from the @AMTQuito as part of the @BloombergDotOrg Initiative for Global Road Safety. Agents strengthened their skills in communication, stress management, and resilience through scenario-based learning and guided discussions that support safer, more effective interactions on the road.

The IACP convened senior leaders federal, state, and local law enforcement; national law enforcement labor organizations; prosecutors’ offices; and state and local government for a constructive dialogue focused on strengthening intergovernmental public safety cooperation. The result is Shared Principles of Agreement – a consensus document reflecting alignment among 16 organizations. Read the report: theiacp.org/resources/shar…
