This Project aims to deliver tailored capacity building support to several entities throughout Jordan’s security sector including the Public Security Directorate (PSD), Anti-Narcotics Department (AND), and Special Operations Forces (JORSOF) to enhance their ability to counter threats to Jordan’s security and stability including terrorism and illicit narcotics trafficking. The Project will see CTCBP expand its lines of effort to provide training and specialized equipment to the AND as it works to better understand and counter the flow of narcotics emanating from Syria as this continues to have a destabilizing effect on Jordan and the region more broadly. The Project will also wrap up engagement with the PSD in the field of critical incident response, with the aim of creating a completely sustainable capability within the PSD beyond the Project's life cycle. Finally, the Project will expand ongoing support for JORSOF to continue its efforts to increase the integration of female soldiers into operational roles within its counterterrorism units, particularly in the areas of intelligence gathering and exploitation.
