Abstract
Following greetings to the delegates by President Reagan, Georgia State officials, and Atlanta officials, general session addresses covered (1) Reagan Administration crime-control legislative proposals, (2) the Federal attack on drug trafficking and organized crime, (3) Japan's system of law enforcement, and (4) the experience of Gen. James Dozier at the hands of terrorists. Other general session addresses focused on a review of the activities of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Connie Francis' perspective on the needs of crime victims, and Federal law enforcement efforts as viewed by the Director of the FBI and the Attorney General. Workshop remarks are presented covering the workshop topics of administration, budgets, cargo theft, civil liability, crime prevention, emergency/disaster preparedness, labor relations, police discipline, productivity, and stress and its control. Training sessions covered executive media training, computers in crime, and vicarious liability. Reports are presented from the IACP divisions of State and Provincial Police and State Associations of Chiefs of Police. The various IACP committee reports deal with such topics as arson, crime prevention, communications, emergency planning, education and training, firearms and explosives, highway safety, and narcotics and dangerous drugs.
