Profile
One of the organizations that organize and sponsor these joint trainings is the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE), a joint program of Georgia State University and local law enforcement. GILEE works to foster cooperation between law enforcement agencies in Georgia and Israel, educating Israeli law enforcement on community policing and training Georgia law enforcement on counter-terrorism. Since its establishment, GILEE has run law enforcement executive development and trainings to enhance homeland security, through 450 programs that reached over 33,000 law enforcement and other executives across over 25 states and 25 countries.
The Sheriffs Office of DeKalb County, Georgia, is among the departments that have sent delegates to Israel. Jeffrey L. Mann has served as Sheriff of DeKalb County Sheriffs Office since 2014, and still serves as Sheriff today. Sheriff Mann, serving as then-Chief Deputy, attended a GILEE training in Israel in June 2010.
