SPPPOS

The State and Provincial Police Planning Officers section (SPPPOS) is a part of the Division of State and Provincial Police of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). Membership includes police agencies with responsibilities consisting of both highway patrol and criminal investigation responsibilities in the service of state and provincial governments, the federal government of Canada, or other sovereign governments exercising jurisdiction over territories within the United States or Canada. The organization is comprised of five geographic areas; the North Atlantic, North Central, North Atlantic, Mountain Pacific, and Southern regions. Each region may convene meetings as needed. An international conference is held annually.

The purposes of the organization are to facilitate the exchange of planning information and experiences among member organizations and other planning associations, to serve as a resource available to all members of the section for dealing with agency issues and problems, and to maintain an on-line projects and statistical data base for access to all section members. Additionally, SPPPOS strives to provide for the sharing of information among member organizations and to encourage the development of the planning function within member organizations.

An annual conference is graciously hosted by a different member state each year. Conference agendas include some of the most timely and provocative issues facing state and provincial police organizations. The advances and challenges of information technology, communications, mobile data computing, patrol car accident investigation, officer safety, policy development, operational issues, and budget issues have been topics of past conference agendas.

One valuable feature of the SPPPOS group is the “Projects in Progress” (PIP) forum. PIP is an opportunity for participating organizations to list current, significant research and development projects on the IACP database allowing members with the same or similar types of research an opportunity to exchange ideas, saving time and resources. Members are allowed an opportunity to make a brief presentation at the annual conference on PIP topics in order to present the completed project or to solicit further research on the subject.

Another valuable tool for information sharing is the SPPPOS Listserv; an internet communications forum allowing member agencies an opportunity to post questions directly to the SPPPOS group. The Listserv provides the opportunity for timely responses to the more pressing issues that may require consistency in research and development.
