(From the Rome Police Department):
The Rome Police Department’s Captain Roy Willingham has returned from Israel after an intensive two weeks of public safety leadership training with the country’s top police executives for the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange’s (GILEE) 31st annual peer-to-peer executive education program.
Willingham was part of a delegation that included 17 Georgia police chiefs, sheriffs, command staff and a deputy director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Assistant Commissioner Joshua Lamb of the Georgia Department of Public Safety served as Head of Delegation. GILEE Director Col. (Ret.) Brent Cummings led the delegation, which included GILEE Founding Director Robbie Friedmann and Associate Director Nadia Borissova, who managed operations.
GILEE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Treasury as a professional education program. GILEE shapes police executive leadership development through global engagement and an exceptional peer-to-peer experiential learning environment. It enhances public safety in the communities its delegates serve by sharing best practices in homeland security and community policing that emphasize the protection of civil rights and liberties. The exchange with the Israel Police is one of several global professional exchanges GILEE hosts through the year.
