Sison Congratulates 5th Class of U.S.-Trained Cadets
U.S. Ambassador Michele Sison congratulated the fifth class of 290 Internal Security Forces cadets and presented them with their certificates, the U.S. embassy said in a press release.
She also congratulated the twenty graduates of the second Supervision and Management Course which ended in March, the embassy said.
The cadet course is a ten-week, state-of-the-art training program, taught by U.S. instructors and curriculum developers with the assistance of Lebanese police and legal professionals. Cadets learn the latest policing and law enforcement skills and how to apply these to on-the-job situations.
The Supervision and Management Course focuses on technical and leadership skills development so that non-commissioned officers can effectively lead field police units.
The embassy statement said the U.S. government continues training ISF personnel as part of the ongoing $80 million law enforcement assistance program which helps the ISF build its capacity and enforce the rule of law.
