Embassy Congratulates Fourth Graduation of US-Trained ISF Cadets
The US Embassy has congratulated the fourth and fifth classes of 289 Internal Security Forces (ISF) police cadets who graduated from an US-funded police training program, a press release issued by the embassy Friday said.
On behalf of the US Embassy, Virginia Ramadan, who directs the embassy’s assistance program to the ISF, presented the certificates.
“The training program is part of the ongoing $78 million law enforcement assistance program … The cadet course is a ten-week, state-of-the-art training program, taught by US instructors and curriculum developers with the assistance of Lebanese police and legal professionals,” the release read.
“The U.S. Government has been assisting the ISF since October 2006 through several programs. The U.S. Government is committed to supporting Lebanon, the ISF and the Lebanese people,” it concluded.
