The goal of the program is to support the extensive USG-funded law enforcement development program underway in Georgia to redevelop Georgian law enforcement agencies. These programs involve a change in philosophy from reactive to proactive policing; development of a community policing strategy; development of policies, procedures and training that will continue the professionalization of the law enforcement services; and the development of long-term strategic plans and visions for the law enforcement community development. These plans are outside of the scope of experiences currently possessed by the Georgians and the use of an intensive exchange program will provide the impetus, desire and "roadmap" upon which the Georgians can develop the skills desired by USG sponsored programs. The distinct subject matter of this funding opportunity necessitates a thorough review of the official program guidance referenced at the URL provided in the contact section of this summary.
