US funds community policing training

Several hundred policemen throughout Sri Lanka will soon benefit from new equipment and training offered by the United States under a program aimed to improve the performance of local community policemen.

US Ambassador Jeffrey J. Lunstead and Inspector General of Police Indra de Silva signed a Memorandum of Agreement yesterday at the US Embassy outlining details of the program, states a press release from the United States of America.

Valued at US $ 250,000, the program will run for two years and is administered by the US Department of Justice under the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP).

"We're proud to be able to offer this assistance to local Sri Lankan policemen as a tangible benefit of the peace process," said Lunstead.
