International Police Program
New to the LEMIT portfolio of initiatives is the International Police Program, led by Carolyn Martinez, an experienced international traveler who has lived and worked overseas for many years. She brings with her experience from the diplomatic arena, as well as a strong law enforcement affiliation. In addition to her expertise in global policing issues, she has an extensive background and advanced training in psychology, and has presented her work at many international conferences.
The intent of the new Program is to provide opportunities for Texas law enforcement officers to interact professionally with their counterparts from other countries, with a special emphasis on South America and our southern border.
The Criminal Justice Center at Sam Houston State University has developed a considerable number of sustainable relationships with law enforcement agencies from around the world. The LEMIT Program will build on these relationships to enhance the opportunities for Texas law enforcement officers to understand the importance of international cooperation. Participants at these programs will discover the impact of immigrant and overseas visitor issues affecting the American economy; learn about policing in the community and harmonious living. A series of professional symposiums will be conducted at LEMIT to discuss critical policing issues that affect us all.
A series of overseas professional visits is also planned, allowing Texas law enforcement officers to benefit from first hand experience of policing throughout the world. The opportunity to interact with colleagues from around the world provides an invaluable experience in sharing and learning across a broad spectrum of law enforcement issues.
