Israeli Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the program provided the visiting officials with an opportunity to “learn from each other and their Israeli counterparts. In November 2011, a delegation of senior American law enforcement officials, including police commanders, security experts and FBI agents, went to Israel for a joint training seminar with Israeli counter-terrorism officials sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. “I think we can learn a lot from other countries, particularly Israel, which unfortunately has a long history of preparing for and responding to terrorist attacks,” said Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) about the special office.Ī 2007 publication by the Police Executive Research Forum said, “We must embrace, in particular, our Israeli and British counterparts, to whom we can turn for lessons learned.” Department of Homeland Security established a special Office of International Affairs to institutionalize the relationship between Israeli and American security officials. “They have so much more experience in dealing with this than we do in the United States.”Īlso, in 2003, the U.S. “I think it’s invaluable,” said Washington, DC Police Chief Charles Ramsey about the instruction he received in Israel.

There is high demand for artificial intelligence skills, and the companies have a manifest interest in participating in the program. This program, however, focuses on highly-skilled workers who already earn some of the country’s highest salaries, and presumably will enable them to earn even more.
