Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange

The Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) is a police training exchange program based at Georgia State University that was formed in 1992.[1][2][3] The program primarily facilitates cooperation between Georgia law enforcement agencies and the Israeli Police, but also coordinates trainings between agencies from other countries and US states. The program's objectives are for Georgia law enforcement officials to receive training in drug interdiction and counter-terrorism while in Israel, and for Israeli officials to receive training in community policing.[1]

About 1,250 law enforcement executives have participated in GILEE exchange programs as of 2023, and about 43,000 executives participated in GILEE led workshops and conferences.[4]
