July 22, 2011
In July 2011, the United States government donated to the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF) facilities, equipment, and supplies valued at over $1.7 million U.S. dollars. Through the Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, these donations fall within the framework of the United States’ continuing assistance for law-enforcement programs in Lebanon.
Included in the donation is a new police station in the area adjacent to the Nahr El Bared Palestinian Refugee camp fully furnished and equipped per ISF specifications. The value of this donation is $1,134,570.
The United States also provided urgently needed equipment and supplies to assist the ISF in preparing expanded training facilities at the ISF Training Academy in Warwar. This equipment will be utilized in new classrooms at Warwar to train an expected 4,000 newly recruited ISF officers and Sergeants. The value of the donated supplies and equipment is $176,073. The U.S. government also constructed and equipped a firing range to train ISF cadets on the use of weapons at the ISF Training Academy in Aramoun. The value of the donated firing range and equipment is $434,424.
The U.S. Government has been assisting the ISF in its development since October 2006 and has committed over $132 million to this program. The professional development of the ISF is critical for Lebanon’s sovereignty, independence and security.
