MIDDLE EASTERN: Crime, Culture & Community
3 Day Seminar...A Necessity for All Police Personnel
Presented by a career intelligence officer who gained her knowledge and experience
by working for over a decade in a large metropolitan Middle Eastern community, the
class explores a broad spectrum of issues that seeks to distinguish the make-up and
mind-set of this unique immigrant society. This is not your traditional cultural
awareness class, terrorism or weapons of mass destruction class, but a blend of
cultural characteristics, experience sharing and criminal intelligence briefings...for
cops, from a cops perspective.

The 3-day class explores a host of diverse issues ranging from the role of history and religion, the Koran, social interaction, fundamental radicalism, khat & the heroin trade, to the nexus between the community and national & international crime and terrorism. Crimes common within the community are closely examined, as are their criminal characteristics and MO's. The influence of the drug trade and fraud schemes are also closely explored with respect to their impact on the community, as well as their link to international criminal cartels and the potential funding streams for international terrorism. |
| This class is ideal for patrol officers, latent investigators, school resource officers, gang investigators and intelligence practitioners who engage members of the Arab community or who seek a broader base of understanding. |

| The curriculum is as intriguing as it is thought provoking, providing the attendee with a vast array of knowledge that will empower them to recognize and overcome problematic cultural barriers and to more effectively interact with this emigre ethnic group. |
