Resources for law enforcement officers to learn more about how the ACP works and guidance for working with ACP participants.
Overview
It is critically important that police and law enforcement officers are familiar with the Address Confidentiality Program.

Review the materials on this page to learn more about how the ACP overlaps with law enforcement work.
