Institutions of all type should be open to the perpetuation of Civic Virtue and Social Cohesion for the betterment of society. The ISO is very supportive of candidates and officials that support the expansion and presence of the Community Liaison Officer profession.

Incentives for Liaison Assistants

Those recognized as voluntary Assistants to a Community Liaison Officer should also receive various benefits and rewards for their service. Civic Virtue is difficult to build and it's in the Professional Interest of Community Liaison Officers that their Assistants are incentivized to keep building it. The nature of these incentives will vary based on local laws, economic conditions, and so forth. The ISO will design them based on what best fits the specific conditions.

Defense of Professional Interest

The potential issues that a Community Liaison Officer will experiences as he does his work will vary tremendously and is impossible to identify perfectly.
