A<>E<>R {{Begin>}} DATE=2/24/2000 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=U-S / CIVILIAN POLICE (L-ONLY) NUMBER=2-259534 BYLINE=KYLE KING DATELINE=STATE DEPARTMENT CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: President Clinton has ordered the State Department to establish a new program that would train civilian police for international peacekeeping missions around the world. From the State Department, V-O-A's Kyle King reports. TEXT: The president's directive calls on the State Department to be the lead agency in the training of police for duty in places such as Kosovo and East Timor. The administration has asked Congress for 10-million dollars to fund the effort, which will bring together several U-S Government agencies. The United States currently has about 700 civilian police officers taking part in U- N peacekeeping operations. Under the new plan, that number would be about two- thousand and the police would be trained ahead of time so they could be deployed quickly to trouble spots. Secretary of State Albright says U-N civilian police can provide a sense of security and perform tasks that heavily armed troops are not well trained to handle. /// Albright Act /// The international community needs to identify and train units that are able to control crowds, deter vigilante actions, prevent looting and disarm civilian agitators, while at the same time winning the trust of the communities where they are deployed. /// End Act /// In addition to encouraging other countries to develop similar programs, U-S officials are hoping for greater coordination with the United Nations. Officials say the goal is to develop training programs that will get local police and criminal justice systems functioning once stability has been restored by peacekeeping forces.
