Europe and Eurasia

In Europe and Eurasia, the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) is focusing its assistance efforts on strengthening border security, building capacity to conduct complex investigations, and improving regional cross-border law enforcement cooperation. Through ICITAP’s efforts to strengthen the rule of law and secure stable environments, the countries in this region have become stronger partners to the United States and more active participants within the international community.

ICITAP receives funding and partnership support from the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), and the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN) Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) program.  ICITAP also receives funding and partnership support from the Defense Department’s U. S. European Command (USEUCOM).

ICITAP works in close collaboration with other bureaus within the State Department, other U.S. agencies, and a diverse range of international and regional organizations in Europe, including the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), and the European Union (EU).
