U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Affair:
Our largest client is the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Affair (DOS-INL). Our partnership with DOS-INL goes back to our role in Iraq Civilian Advisory Support (ICAS) project, where BlueLaw team took a key role as part of an overall effort to build the capacity of Iraqi Higher Judicial Council (HJC), Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Interior to manage the national criminal justice system. Since then, BlueLaw has been awarded the Criminal Justice Program Support IDIQ small business set aside award and we have partnered with DOS-INL to implement its International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) training program. At ILEA Roswell, New Mexico, BLI assists in the provision of graduate-level criminal justice instruction to foreign law enforcement officials to deepen their expertise, increase leadership skills, and to enhance the level of professionalism in the field as a whole. BlueLaw provides ten training sessions to 350 participants annually, representing thirty different countries every year. By helping DOS-INL to conduct graduate level education and to develop its doctrine and programs, we strive to support DOS-INL’s global mission to keep Americans safe at home by countering international crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. We also support DOS-INL in its mission to help countries deliver justice and fairness to their people by strengthening their police, courts, and correctional administration systems.
