U.S. Trained Internal Security Forces Officers Graduate
March 11, 2011
Robert Gibson, the Deputy Director of the Office of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Programs at the US Embassy in Beirut, spoke at a graduation ceremony for 14 officers, who completed the 11th U.S.- Lebanese Supervision and Management Course, at the Internal Security Forces (ISF) Academy in Warwar.
The U.S. and Lebanese instruction teams have trained over 4500 ISF members in basic and advanced leadership courses since January 2008. The Supervisor and Management Course is an eight-week, state-of-the-art training program, taught by U.S. and Lebanese instructors and subject matter experts. Officers learn the latest technical and leadership skills and how to apply them in practical situations.
The current $116 million program strengthens the capacity of the ISF and is part of the overall U.S. security assistance program to Lebanon. This law enforcement assistance program supports the ISF to improve the enforcement of rule of law and protect the Lebanese people through training, provision of equipment, and facility modernization. The professional development of the ISF is critical for Lebanon’s sovereignty, independence and security.
