Bureau of International Narcotics-Law Enforcement

Description

Liberia’s environment is challenging. Monrovia’s infrastructure is serviceable; meanwhile, the infrastructure outside Monrovia, in the counties is minimal. For the majority of Liberian citizens, law enforcement does not meet basic community needs and equitable access to justice historically has been difficult. Moreover, the lack of developed key professional skills (e.g., leadership and management), professional skills development opportunities, basic office equipment, and funding remain serious challenges for Liberia’s criminal justice institutions. This project seeks to develop and implement an integrated training and mentoring program for Liberian law enforcement that includes aiding Liberian law enforcement entities to self-train.The project calls for a team of highly experienced law enforcement officers with experience training to be deployed to Liberia to train and mentor the identified cohorts of Liberian law enforcement.
