Over the past several years, there tias been an unprecedented opportunity to do so within the context of state reform in countries making the transition to democracy. As a result, the I agencies of the U.S. Government that administer this assistance have expanded their training activities and changed the focus of the assistance provided. The Department of State and the Department of Justice have built a strong and evolving partnership in I this arena. These two U.S. Government Departments seek to promote the development of effective and accountable police services in countries where the difficult transition to democratic forms of gov- ernment is taking place. Both agencies also recognize that fundamental questions remain about the I most effective strategies for fostering such reform. To pose these questions and to challenge traditional assumptions, we hosted a workshop on policing I in emerging democracies and commissioned papers from leading academics who have reflected on these issues. The workshop was cosponsored by the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs and the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the I Department of Justice. Attending the workshop was an impressive group of scholars and practitioners, representing the experiences of more than 20 nations in developing democratic police functions. Also participating were representatives of each of the Federal agencies now engaged in providing training I and technical assistance abroad. The keynote speaker was Raymond W. Kelly, former Police Commissioner of New York City, who had recently returned from overseeing the international polic- ing operation in Haiti. I The exchange of ideas that took place at the workshop, and the papers reproduced here, will serve as a rich resource to be tapped in shaping policy in the future. We wish to express our thanks to the participants, particularly those who wrote the foundation papers and who provided I the synthesis of the proceedings. It is our hope that the discussions inspired by the workshop will I continue and expand in the years to come. Timothy E.

  • Icitap in Africa
    U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) ICITAP’S HISTORICAL MILESTONES The International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) was established in 1986. The following milestones in ICITAP’s work reflect world events and U.S. foreign policy priorities. 1986 ICITAP begins building criminal investigative capacities of police forces in Latin America. 1990 In the wake of Operation Just Cause in Panama, ICITAP develops and implements a plan to transition the former military security force into civilian-led police forces. This full-scale in- country police development program effectively changes ICITAP from a training organization to a full-service international law enforcement development organization. 1991 ICITAP begins assistance in what is now its longest standing country of operations: Colombia. In 2002, ICITAP becomes a partner in the Plan Colombia Justice Sector Reform Program and assists the country in its transition to an adversarial system of justice. 1992 After United Nations–mediated peace accords end El Salvador’s civil war, ICITAP helps build El Salvador’s National Civilian Police and establish the National Public Security Academy. 1994 After assessing Somalia’s police force in 1993, ICITAP deploys to Somalia to implement a police assistance project; instability and fighting terminate the project three months later. ICITAP arrives in Haiti two days after U.S. troops and implements a five-year plan to develop a new civilian police force in Haiti; success heightens ICITAP’s recognition as a principal resource in establishing security and law enforcement in emerging democracies. 1996 After the Dayton Peace Accords are signed, ICITAP supports United Nations efforts to stand up a police force in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
