The Women’s Leadership Section within the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police (ILACP) is aimed at advancing women in law enforcement. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in law enforcement, particularly in leadership roles, and often face unique challenges in recruitment, career advancement, and professional growth. The establishment of this new section will provide a dedicated, inclusive network to support and empower women officers and leaders, helping to bridge these gaps and foster an environment where all members can thrive.

Interested in being an ILACP eTraining Presenter?
The ILACP has formed a special PIO Section to help connect PIOs from across Illinois. We're looking to get at least one representative from each department.
For this first year, it's free to join the section! Find out more here: https://www.ilchiefs.org/pio-section
This will be a tremendous resource should anyone in your agency need to reach out to other PIO professionals for advice or assistance. One of the section’s aims is to create a crisis communication assistance plan among the PIOs in the section. This will create a buddy system of sorts if a crisis arises, and a PIO needs help. The hope is that person will have a PIO living in a nearby community who can come to their aid if needed.
There will also be an open forum amongst the PIOs in the section for any questions, comments, concerns, or advice.
