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 Denver, Colorado, is among the departments that have sent delegates to Israel. Officials from the department attended a training in Israel with the ADL as delegates of the National Counter-Terrorism Seminar in March 2014. As part of their training, the Denver Police Department delegates met with security experts, intelligence analysts, and commanders in the Israel National Police. Their training included high-level briefings on counter-terror operations, airport security, holy site management, and advanced policing technology.
