USAID/Guatemala has identified the following individual of the
National Civil Police (PNC) to attend a retreat organized by the
USAID Community Based-Policing Program in support of developing
positive and capable leaders within the Guatemalan National Civilian
Police. The workshop was originally planned for June 9-11, 2009.
