ARMENIAN TRAINING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Corrections officials from the Republic of Armenia began a three-week
training program with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WIDOC)
facilities in Madison and Oshkosh on April 27. The Armenian officials
are examining methods of classifying inmates more efficiently
based on behavior, risk, and other factors. Officials will also
attend workshops on security, emergency response, and community
alternatives to incarceration. The Department of State’s Bureau of
International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and the
Wisconsin Department of Corrections collaborated on the curriculum
and logistics for this training.

INL and WIDOC signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2011 to provide
training for international corrections and prisons personnel. WIDOC
is one of more than 50 U.S. state and local agency partners from
communities around the United States who help foreign law enforcement
and justice officials enhance their civilian security and justice
sector capacity. Through these agreements, U.S. partners develop
networks of contacts with foreign counterparts that assist them in
stemming the tide of illicit drugs and transnational crime that are
entering their own communities. Making international law enforcement
connections on drug-related and gang-related issues has a long-term
impact on cross-border, state-level, and community security. This is
the first international training provided by WIDOC under the terms
of the MOU and cooperative agreement with INL.

The training graduation ceremony in Madison will be open to the
press on May 15th. For further information on the exchange or to
attend the graduation ceremony, please contact INL public affairs
at [email protected]. To receive updates on INL activities, follow
the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
