Community policing & human rights

2-5-2018

A ceremony was held on April 30 for the graduation of some 39 men and women members of the Ashrafieh Police Unit who completed a 3-round community police course. The event took place at the ISF Institute, Aramun, under the patronage of the ISF Director General, Brigadier General, Imad Othman, represented by Commander of the ISF Institute, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Hajjar, in the presence of US Embassy representative and the Director of the Office of Drug Control and Law Enforcement at the Embassy, Wesley Robertson. Hajjar pointed out that the ISF strategic plan is based on bolstering partnership with society in line with the slogan, ‘together towards a safer society’. He made clear that the capabilities at hand at the ISF are directed to increase the skills and competence of ISF members for the better application of the principles of human rights conventions. Robertson, for his part, lauded the collaboration between his embassy and the Internal Security Forces to the end of strengthening the community police. Likewise, the Commander of the Regional Police Department at Beirut Police, Brig. Gen. Hussein Khasfeh, underlined the importance of the application of the human rights principles the beneficiaries learned from the above session, which, as he said, is the first in many others to come.
