SUBJECT: REQUEST TO EXTEND INTERNATIONAL POLICE TRAINERS AT
THE JORDAN INTERNATIONAL POLICE TRAINING CENTER - FINNISH
RESPONSE

REF: SECSTATE 192858

1. PolChief delivered subject demarche to Anu Laaminen,
Office Director of the MFA's Unit for Civilian Crisis
Management. Laaminen confirmed that Finland will maintain
five police trainers at the Jordan International Police
Training Center through February 28, 2007. The GOF has
also informed JIPTC Director Gary Bullard of its decision.

2. Laaminen described the Finnish experience in this
training mission as positive. If a follow-on police
training mission in Jordan becomes a reality later in 2007,
she said the GOF would be prepared to participate once
again, likely at the level of between seven and 12 police
trainers.
