The Interagency Operational Support Program (IOSP) is a core capability of the United States Police Department (USPD), designed to strengthen law-enforcement operations through targeted interagency support, personnel augmentation, and the integration of experienced professionals into partner agencies.
The mission of IOSP is to enhance public safety by providing operationally proven law-enforcement personnel, supervisory expertise, and specialized capabilities to agencies facing increased operational demands, personnel shortages, or complex security challenges. Through this program, the USPD supports local, state, and regional law-enforcement partners while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and professionalism.
IOSP operates as a collaborative, mission-focused framework, enabling USPD personnel to embed temporarily or rotationally within partner departments. These assignments may include patrol augmentation, supervisory oversight, investigative support, operational planning, or advisory roles during critical incidents and sustained operations. All support is conducted in accordance with established legal authorities, mutual-aid agreements, and agency-specific policies.
In law-enforcement operations, IOSP enhances response readiness and continuity of service, ensuring that communities remain protected even during periods of low staffing, major events, or heightened threat environments. USPD personnel assigned under IOSP integrate seamlessly into host agencies, reinforcing existing command structures and operational procedures rather than replacing them.
Within criminal investigations, IOSP provides experienced investigators and supervisors to assist with complex cases, case backlogs, or specialized investigative needs. Emphasis is placed on investigative rigor, ethical conduct, and transparency to support accountability and public trust.
IOSP also supports interagency intelligence coordination, facilitating information sharing, analytical support, and risk assessment across jurisdictions. This proactive approach enables partner agencies to identify emerging threats, allocate resources effectively, and respond decisively before risks escalate.
Through the Interagency Operational Support Program, the USPD reaffirms its commitment to professional service, interagency cooperation, and operational excellence. IOSP strengthens law-enforcement capability nationwide by ensuring that expertise, leadership, and operational capacity are available where and when they are most needed—always in service of safer, more resilient communities.
