THE ILEA INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM COMMITTEE (ICC)

Curriculum development for the ILEA project has, and continues to be, a needs-driven process. In February 1995, the first meeting of the ICC was convened at the future site of the ILEA in Budapest, Hungary, to develop the first curriculum for the program. In attendance at this historic meeting were police officials from the participating countries; the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine; and the potential partner countries; Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Italy, and Great Britain. Also participating in the meeting were representatives from the United Nations Crime Prevention Bureau of Vienna and the European Union (Eurocustoms). The U.S. delegation included representatives from the FBI, DEA, U.S. Department of Treasury. The ICC was co-chaired by the University of Virginia (UVA) and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.

The ILEA curriculum evolves through biannual ICC meetings, which are scheduled in Budapest and in the United States. At these meetings, the ICC receives input on crime problems and training needs from the countries attending the next session and receives a critique of the course from the countries attending the current session. The makeup of the ICC varies from meeting to meeting, but has always included a representative number of European participants.
