THE INTERNATIONAL FACULTY

No permanent instructional staff is present in Budapest. Lecturers for the various courses are primarily practitioners who come to Budapest to present their area of expertise and then return to their home country. Law enforcement professionals from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Hungary, and the Council of Europe representatives from Belgium and France, have collaborated to date to ensure that the ILEA program is relevant to the needs of the international law enforcement community.

ILEA MANAGEMENT

The overall management structure of the ILEA is composed of an on-site Program Manager from the FBI, a Deputy Program Director from the USSS, a senior Hungarian police liaison officer who serves as a Deputy, and two contract support employees (Hungarian citizens). An ILEA Steering Committee, located in Washington, D.C., provides policy guidance, and operational support is provided by the International Training Section at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia. Supporting the ILEA Program Manager is a Class Coordinator, who is a federal law enforcement official chosen on a rotating basis from one of the agencies participating in the ILEA program. Assisting in the overall ILEA management effort is the input generated from the regular meetings of the ILEA ICC.

The ILEA Program Manager is an FBI Agent assigned to Budapest on a term assignment. The ILEA Steering Committee is composed of members from all participating law enforcement agencies, chaired by a representative from DOS. The Committee is charged with the responsibility of establishing and reviewing ILEA policies and procedures, prioritizing requests for use of the facility, and addressing any issues and problems that may arise. The rules established to govern Committee operations provide equitable representation for all agencies and countries involved. In addition to the Steering Committee, an executive policy board was created. This board is composed of cabinet level officials from DOS, the Department of Treasury and the Department of Justice. Because of the international nature of ILEA operations, the makeup of the ILEA Steering Committee has provisions for an international component, possibly staffed by representatives from the embassies of countries who are active partners in the ILEA initiative. The current management structure provides a flexible, adaptable mechanism and process to address and resolve issues related to ILEA activities.
