Modesto, CA- Sheriff Adam Christianson just returned from a best practices counter-terrorism program in Israel where he met with his Israeli counterparts on how to make Stanislaus County and America safer. The rise of ISIS and the threat of global terrorism, as we most recently saw in Paris, make this program more important than ever.
Since 2002, the LEEP program has made many local communities safer. The knowledge gained from this program will help law enforcement agencies keep citizens safer and ensure that American communities are better prepared to deal with the realities of terrorism. Israeli law enforcement has been dealing with terrorism and learning from it for many years. Both law enforcement and the people of Israel have paid a very high price learning the lessons they now openly share with the United States through JINSA’s Law Enforcement Exchange Program (LEEP).
“The trip to Israel provided me the opportunity to meet with other law enforcement executives from across the United States and with Israeli law enforcement, military and government leaders to learn about Israeli national security." said Sheriff Adam Christianson. "The threat of terrorism worldwide is real and we need to reaffirm our commitment to gathering intelligence, information sharing and working together to protect our nation."
