More ISF troops complete US training
The US Embassy in Lebanon on Tuesday announced that the third class of 167 Internal Security Forces (ISF) police recruits graduated from a US-funded police training program. US Ambassador Michele Sison presented the cadets with their completion of training certificates and "encouraged them to share their newly acquired knowledge with their colleagues," the embassy said in a statement.
The embassy added that the ISF cadets were trained in a 10-week program that "focused on the latest policing and law enforcement skills and the application of these skills to specific situations." "The curriculum includes modern police practices, understanding democratic policing and human rights, criminal investigation procedures and other essential law enforcement skills," it said. "All Lebanese will see the benefits of your enhanced training at traffic checkpoints and at intersections throughout the country," Sison said, according to the statement.
