• A larger policy and advocacy committee, which chooses the policy agenda for the year and reviews the proposed policy proposals and resolutions drafted on that agenda by the steering committee; and
• A steering committee, which researches the agenda topics chosen and drafts policy positions for policy and advocacy committee review.

Policy changes accepted by each policy and advocacy are subsequently forwarded to the entire membership for approval and inclusion in NLC?s National Municipal Policy (NMP).  The NMP is a collection of position statements on a variety of issues with immediate and long-term implications for the nation?s cities and towns.  Developed through the deliberative, member-driven policy development process described above, the NMP states the policy positions that frame NLC?s advocacy efforts.

Each of the seven committees has a specific set of issues under its jurisdiction, and policy development in each committee is limited to these issues.  The Public Safety and Crime Prevention (PSCP) Committee is responsible for policy in the areas of crime prevention, corrections, substance abuse, municipal fire policy, juvenile justice, disaster preparedness and relief, homeland security, domestic terrorism, court systems and gun control.
