Committees & Appointments
All VACP & VACLEA members have the opportunity to serve on Association committees, or to volunteer to represent the VACP or VACLEA on administrative and legislative committees and advisory boards. We want to know if you are interested in serving in one of these capacities. Your responses to this survey will help leadership in selecting qualified and interested individuals when we are asked to provide a law enforcement executive to fill an appointment.

Volunteer Opportunity: New Chief Mentorship Program
Help develop the next generation of Virginia's police chiefs by sharing your experience and expertise.
VACP's New Chief Mentorship Program connects first-time chiefs with experienced law enforcement executives who can provide practical guidance in eight key areas of police leadership. Rather than committing to a traditional one-on-one mentoring relationship, volunteers serve as subject-matter mentors in areas where they have particular expertise.
Mentors typically participate in one scheduled 45–60 minute conversation with each assigned new chief and remain available as a resource afterward. Active and retired chiefs are encouraged to volunteer.
Interested in serving as a mentor? Complete the brief interest form below to tell us about your experience and areas of expertise.
VACP & VACLEA Executive Boards
The Executive Board of the VACP meets approximately 6 times per year to direct the business of the association and to discuss issues of importance to the law enforcement profession. The Board is made up of five (5) at-large committeemen, three (3) vice presidents, the President of the Association, and the Immediate Past President.
Each year at the VACP Annual Conference, a new Board member(s) is/are elected to the board to replace the outgoing Past President and any other vacancies on the Board.
VACP ACTIVE members in good standing who are the chief executive officer of a state, local or campus police department are eligible to serve on the VACP Executive Board.
