    ARMENIAN TRAINING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

    USA Department of State
    April 29 2013

    Media Note
    Office of the Spokesperson
    Washington, DC

    Corrections officials from the Republic of Armenia began a three-week
    training program with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WIDOC)
    facilities in Madison and Oshkosh on April 27. The Armenian officials
    are examining methods of classifying inmates more efficiently
    based on behavior, risk, and other factors. Officials will also
    attend workshops on security, emergency response, and community
    alternatives to incarceration. The Department of State's Bureau of
    International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and the
    Wisconsin Department of Corrections collaborated on the curriculum
    and logistics for this training.

    INL and WIDOC signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2011 to provide
    training for international corrections and prisons personnel. WIDOC
    is one of more than 50 U.S. state and local agency partners from
    communities around the United States who help foreign law enforcement
    and justice officials enhance their civilian security and justice
    sector capacity. Through these agreements, U.S. partners develop
    networks of contacts with foreign counterparts that assist them in
    stemming the tide of illicit drugs and transnational crime that are
    entering their own communities. Making international law enforcement
    connections on drug-related and gang-related issues has a long-term
    impact on cross-border, state-level, and community security. This is
    the first international training provided by WIDOC under the terms
    of the MOU and cooperative agreement with INL.

    The training graduation ceremony in Madison will be open to the
    press on May 15th. For further information on the exchange or to
    attend the graduation ceremony, please contact INL public affairs
    at [email protected]. To receive updates on INL activities, follow
    the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs
