Teaching in Afghanistan

My initial post mentioned that I will be teaching while in Afghanistan, but I neglected to say what subject. At the request of the Afghan government, the U.S. State Department hires third-party civilian contractors (all civilian police officers) to provide instruction and mentoring at the national law enforcement academy. The Afghan national police force provides what most of us identify as "regular" police work along with highway patrol and border security duties. The subject matters included in the instruction vary from investigative and patrol techniques to human rights.

The main training facility is located near Kabul and is augmented by seven satellite centers located throughout the remainder of the country. These training centers are manned by approximately 350 U.S. civilian international police officers, along with a number of officers from several other Western countries.
