Summary
"In November of 2002, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) announced the introduction of the International Best Practices Research Project and began accepting nominations for participation. The project was conceived and developed as an executive learning opportunity for current and future leaders in policing and criminal justice at the most senior levels. Built upon an experiential learning model, the project would feature a global benchmarking study to identify noteworthy trends and practices that could inform, challenge, and stimulate the Canadian criminal justice community. Central to the learning experience was the requirement that the participants would be challenged to define, plan and execute the study within a broadly defined framework. Furthermore, they would formally present their findings and their views on the challenges for Canada to the CACP Executive Board and membership at the 2003 annual meeting in Halifax, and would ultimately produce a comprehensive report to serve the needs of their colleagues throughout the community. This is their report"--Background.
