Plans are currently being finalized for various Police departments in the United States and other volunteers to start our first leadership training program under the established Amigos de la Policia program and the Republica de Nicaragua Policia Nacional in Granada, Nicaragua (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granada,_Nicaragua).

Common terminology and Symbology for Humanitarian Operations
Historically and presently, international humanitarian programs and operations, be they civil, military, or agency implemented have suffered from a lack of deliberate planning and seamless integration. The result is a continued lack of coordination and interagency partnering. At the most basic level, inter-agency and international cooperation in humanitarian operations is hindered by the lack of commonality in terms and symbology. This program is designed to bring together subject matter experts (SMEs) from a variety of NGOs, PVOs, and governmental organizations with the goal of developing a generally accepted set of terms and symbols that all organizations will use in planning and operations.
