Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange
The Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) is a police training exchange program based at Georgia State University that was formed in 1992. The program primarily facilitates cooperation between Georgia law enforcement agencies and the Israeli Police, but also coordinates trainings between agencies from other countries and US states. The program's objectives are for Georgia law enforcement officials to receive training in drug interdiction and counter-terrorism while in Israel, and for Israeli officials to receive training in community policing. About 1,250 law enforcement executives have participated in GILEE exchange programs as of 2023, and about 43,000 executives participated in GILEE led workshops and conferences. History The program was created by criminology professor Dr. Robert Friedman as Atlanta was preparing to host the 1996 Olympic Games.

Israel Police
The Israel Police (; ) is the civilian police force of Israel. As with most other police forces in the world, its duties include crime fighting, traffic control, maintaining public safety, and counter-terrorism. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Security. The National Headquarters of the Israel Police is located at Kiryat HaMemshala in Jerusalem. The Israel Police operates throughout Israel, Area C of the West Bank, and the Golan Heights,—in all places in which Israel has civilian control. It is the sole civilian law enforcement agency in Israel: there are no municipal or regional police forces, though some municipalities employ bylaw enforcement officers who deal with low-level offenses and provide additional security and as such have the power to issue fines, but do not have police authority. In an emergency, the police can be reached by dialing 100 from any telephone in Israel. History The Israel Police was established in 1948. It is responsi ...

History The first counterterrorism body to be formed was the Special Irish Branch of the Metropolitan Police, later renamed the Special Branch (Metropolitan Police), Special Branch after it expanded its scope beyond its or ...

Community Policing
Community policing is a philosophy and organizational strategy whereby law enforcement cooperates with community groups and citizens in producing safety and security. The theory underlying community policing is that it makes citizens more likely to cooperate with police by changing public perceptions of both the intention and capacity of the police. The theory is also that it changes attitudes of police officers and increases accountability. Scholarship has raised questions about whether community policing leads to improved outcomes. History Values of community policing have been linked to Sir Robert Peel's 1829 Peelian Principles, most notably John Alderson, the former Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall Police. Peel's ideas included that the police needed to seek the cooperation of the public and prioritize crime prevention. The term "community policing" came into use in the late 20th century, and then only as a response to a preceding philosophy of police organization. I ...
