Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics (ICAT) – Wetzel Practice Exam

Acronyms in policing policy discussions often point to a specific national organization that conducts research and guidance for police executives. PERF stands for Police Executive Research Forum, a nonprofit focused on improving policing through rigorous research, policy development, and leadership guidance for police agencies. Its work covers areas like governance, use of force, accountability, and reform efforts, and you’ll see the name cited in debates and reports about modern policing. The other suggested expansions don’t align with the real organization known by that acronym, so they don’t reflect PERF’s identity.
