Specifc change projects have included a new community policing model for Armenia (which has a traditional Soviet-era police force) and the revamping of the national system of collecting and storing evidence for Morocco. Upcoming projects include the establishment of a media engagement unit for Armenia and the policing of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual community for the Haitian police. The valuable experience gained as a TWI intern at the IACP cannot be overstated. The broad arena of police work is on full display, sparking new ideas to bring back to the Military Police Corps. The opportunity to become a certifed instructor for the Leadership in Police Organizations Course and travel across the country to teach our Nation's police new ways to lead their offcers is a unique and invaluable experience. Most classes include police offcers in the ranks of sergeant to assistant chief who have more than 20 years of police experience. Seeing the program hit home for them is a reward in itself. In addition, the instructor, who must continuously study the art and science of leadership, is afforded the opportunity to hone these skills for future assignments. Establishing connections to police from around the country, interacting with them, and gaining an understanding of the issues they face in their departments reveal that many of their issues are the same as those faced by the Military Police Corps. TWI interns also gain invaluable international experience by working with various departments and interacting with foreign offcers. Interns are assigned as assistant coordinators for international programs to maximize exposure and to capitalize on needed operations skills. Exposure to the methods used by different cultures to police their populations is also invaluable. It is important that the TWI internship with the IACP continue. The experience that TWI interns gain cannot be duplicated, and the opportunity for professional growth is immense. The IACP also benefts from the addition of a uniquely experienced employee to an already overworked, nonproft staff. Making the most of limited resources is important for the IACP. In addition, police departments with which TWI interns come in contact are always interested in the perspective and direction of the Military Police Corps. Serving as a Military Police Corps ambassador to these agencies is an important part of the internship. The Center for Police Leadership and Training is a close- knit, high-functioning team of professionals who are eager to mentor TWI interns and to capitalize on their existing skills.

These conferences provided me with opportunities to observe how corrections professionals from all levels and agencies come together. Conference speakers included General Eric Shinseki (Retired), U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and Mr. Alex Costellanos, Cable News Network (CNN) analyst and Republican strategist. Both stressed the importance of the corrections profession and its role in our society. I attended nearly 150 professional- development workshops conducted to provide correctional staff with continuing education credit. Sold-out exhibit halls contained displays of the latest innovations in corrections security, technology, probation and parole, transportation, food service, health care, and training. More than 250 local, state, federal, and foreign facilities were accredited or reaccredited during these conferences. ACA offers a host of awards to correctional agencies and individuals for their dedication and commitment to the corrections profession. The Golden Eagle Award is presented to state correctional agencies or transstate independent organizations in recognition of the accreditation of every correctional component within their area of responsibility. The U.S. Army received this award at the ACA 141st Congress of Corrections, held in Kissimmee, Florida, in August 2011. The E. R. Cass Correctional Achievement Award—the highest award bestowed upon anyone in the corrections feld—was established in 1962 to honor Edward R. Cass for his 50-plus years of service in the corrections profession. Brigadier General Mark Inch, Deputy Commanding General, Detainee Operations, Combined Joint Interagency Task Force 435, Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan, and his late wife Sergeant First Class Barbera Corinne Inch (Retired) received this prestigious award at the ACA 143d Congress of Corrections, held in Washington, D.C., in August 2013. Brigadier General Inch has also received the ACA Dunbar Award, which is presented for individual signifcant contributions to the corrections profession. My experience as an ACA Training With Industry intern has been of tremendous value. I have gained insight into a professional organization that sits atop its feld of expertise and bears the standard for the development of correctional policy and operations. The knowledge of corrections that I have gained throughout this past year has bolstered my development as an Army leader, thus enabling me to train and develop future military police corrections leaders into competent corrections professionals.
