Article Abstract:

The inability of the U.S. to effectively train foreign police forces is undermining its security assistance in the war on terror. The importance of effective policing to counterinsurgency is discussed and a means by which the U.S. can take the help of its own police academies to provide high-quality assistance to foreign law enforcement agencies in a cost effective manner is proposed.
