Cheyenne Police Department

One of the organizations that sponsors these trainings is the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The ADL is a non-profit that works to combat anti-Semitism and advocate for Israel. In this context, the ADL runs a National Counter-Terrorism Seminar that has sent hundreds of top ranking officials to Israel to learn about combatting terror since 2003. That same year the ADL established an Advanced Training School that brings delegations of Israeli law enforcement to speak to American law enforcement officials, involving over 1,000 U.S. participants since the program began.

The Police Department of Cheyenne, Wyoming, is among the departments that have participated in trainings with Israeli officials. Brian Kozak has been the Chief of Cheyenne Police Department since 2010. Under his leadership, Cheyenne Police Department officials attended a training in 2013 with the Chief Superintendent of the Israel Police in Washington D.C. as a delegate of the ADL’s Advanced Training School.
