This project aims to strengthen the capacity and resilience of the Jordanian military and police to protect the stability of Jordan from threats of terrorism and transnational crime. The project focuses on increasing the surveillance, analysis and investigative skills of police officers to identify and arrest suspected drug traffickers. The project further supports the development of women’s skills in the Jordanian Special Operations Forces to support analysis and planning for counter terrorism operations. Project activities include: (1) Provision of technical advice and mentoring for senior managers on countering transnational drug trafficking. (2) Supplying surveillance and investigative equipment and training to counter drug trafficking. (3) Provision of advice and mentoring on the integration of women soldiers as senior managers in the Jordanian Special Operations Forces (JORSOF). (4) Training on intelligence analysis for women in JORSOF.

This project supports the abilities of the Haitian National Police (HNP) to participate in internationally-led training through the provision of logistical services and support to understand the usage of training acquired. Project activities include: (1) organizing HNP course participant travel, as well as the procurement and shipping of training materials; (2) facilitating the preparation and processing of travel documentation; (3) providing on-the-ground logistical support as required; and (4) reviewing and analyzing the effect of internationally-led training to support efforts to shape future training.

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.

The project represents a 'phase 2' of a capacity building initiative to support gender integration in Jordan's critical incident response.
