US embassy cable - 05AMMAN4301

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  Acting PolCouns talked with Captain Mohammad Shara, head 
of the International Cooperation office of the Public 
Security Directorate (PSD), on May 31 regarding Jordanian 
participation at the Center for Excellence for Stability 
Police Units (COESPU) in Italy.  Shara said that the PSD was 
finalizing a list of 30 nominees and 7 backups for proposed 
training at COESPU, and that he planned to forward this list 
to the Italian Embassy in Amman next week. 
 
2.  Shara added, however, that the cost of sending 30 
officers to Italy was prohibitively expensive for the PSD's 
limited training budget, mentioning that the airfare alone 
would cost roughly USD 700 per person.  While he appreciated 
U.S. efforts to explore possible assistance to help defray 
costs, he emphasized that a firm decision on Jordanian 
participation in COESPU training remained contingent on what 
funds the U.S. would be able to provide.
