A Proclamation to the World, as well as the Article of Faith which I have just quoted to you. At your table we have a copy of this proclamation on the family. I hope the values it emphasizes will aid you in your efforts to support and strengthen family values. Ours is not a political mission. We do not seek to interfere with the internal affairs of the governments where our members live.
Local members are, however, urged to accept the responsibility of citizenship in their own country.
I encourage you to do all within your power to support and strengthen families. The IACP has great influence which can be used in ways to strengthen families. Look within your organizations to see what might be done to strengthen the families of your officers and staff. Many agencies have programs designed to give needed counsel and support to their officers and their families. That is wonderful but more can be done.
