Oceanside 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 Oceanside, California, is among the departments that have sent delegates to Israel. Fred Armijo has served as Captain of Oceanside Police Department since 2011 and currently oversees the Investigations Division. Captain Armijo attended a training in Israel with the ADL in October 2013. In November 2015, Israel National Police Superintendent Micky Rosenfeld led a training for 150 law enforcement officials from all over San Diego County, including officials from Oceanside Police Department, at a local synagogue.
