Training, Instructional Design, and Support   2

Background
The U.S. Department of State’s, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) staff and partners require specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. Recent Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey data identified a need to provide better training and development of INL staff. A recent Training Needs Assessment of the bureau provided recommendations for doing so and ensuring training is applied on the job. Some of those recommendations can be summarized as such – INL should professionalize its training design, delivery, measurement, curriculum sustainment, and evaluation. Additionally, the Bureau supports capacity building of foreign justice, law enforcement, and corrections institutions. Host nation criminal justice agencies’ staff and leadership need professional, foreign assistance-funded training as they improve their own criminal justice systems abroad. INL partners with other U.S. government agencies, state, and local criminal justice organizations, multilateral institutions, nongovernmental entities, and the private sector to provide a wide range of training, both foundational and specialized expertise, to foreign law enforcement, corrections, and justice personnel to increase their capacity to counter crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad.
