The Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs and International Association of Chiefs of Police recently presented a webinar, Safeguarding Children of Arrested Parents: Implementing the Model Arrest Policy, highlighting the Model Arrest Policy implementation. This 90-minute webinar is recommended for the following audiences: law enforcement staff, probation officers, social services staff, youth-serving organizations, and researchers.

The purpose of the webinar is:

1.    To highlight how a locality has instituted the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) model arrest policy through collaborations
(e.g., between non-profit organizations and government agencies) to protect children of arrested parents;
2.    To share the experiences of a youth who has witnessed the arrest of her parent; and
3.    To highlight research on the impact a parent’s arrest has on children, especially those who have witnessed the arrest.
