Brookhaven Police Chief Gary Yandura has returned home after spending two weeks in Israel for training in the latest counterterrorism techniques and technologies by that nation’s top police officers.
Yandura joined a delegation of sheriffs and police chiefs from 17 Georgia law enforcement agencies, as well as law enforcement leaders from Tennessee and North Dakota, who participated in the 23rd annual peer-to-peer public safety training program organized, sponsored and paid for by the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) at Georgia State University. GILEE hosts public safety exchanges, conferences and experts who introduce the best practices in law enforcement to police and other safety professionals to enhance their policing capabilities.
GILEE, a unit of Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, was founded as a joint program between the university and Georgia’s law enforcement community by Director Robert Friedmann, Professor Emeritus of Criminal Justice. It improves public safety by enhancing inter-agency cooperation and educational training among law enforcement communities.
