The Anti-Defamation League and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum led a full day Law Enforcement and Society training session for eighty senior police officials who were participating in the FBI Academy's Law Enforcement in Counterterrorism (LinCT) Program.
LinCT is the FBI Academy's newest training initiative, bringing together law enforcement leaders who command counter-terrorism operations in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and consisting of three weeks studying counter-terrorism in the United States and the United Kingdom. Through the examination of the Holocaust and the role played by police in the twelve year descent from the rule of law to Nazi genocide, Law Enforcement and Society provides law enforcement professionals with an understanding of their role as protectors of individual rights and democratic values.
Created in 1999 by the ADL and the Holocaust Museum, at the request of Washington, DC, Police Chief Charles Ramsey, Law Enforcement and Society has trained more than 32,000 federal, state and local police and is a required part of training for all New FBI Agents.
