Partnerships and collaboration are the focus of the 2013 International Conference on Policing in the 21st Century - Leading for a Successful Tomorrow, which will be held May 17-18 in Arlington, Va. The conference, co-sponsored by Penn State's Justice and Safety Institute, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) and the Atlantic Police Academy, part of Canada's Holland College, will feature speakers from across the United States and Canada from local and regional law enforcement, education, government and the private sector.
