Deputy Chief Larsen, of the Tulsa Police Department, just
returned from the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) Advanced Training
School (ATS) course on Extremist and Terrorist Threats, held from
December 2-4, 2012 in Washington, DC. Deputy Chief Larsen was
selected to attend the prestigious course for law enforcement
executives, joining (40) other chiefs and commanders of major
federal, state and local law enforcement agencies across the
country who were invited to attend the 22nd session of the course.
Deputy Chief Larsen is now one of the more than 815 executives who
have completed this training since it was first launched by the
Anti-Defamation League in 2003.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the foremost
non-governmental authority on domestic terrorism, extremism,
organized hate groups and hate crimes. ADL created the
Advanced Training School to provide top law enforcement from across
the country with practical resources and information to help them
fight criminal extremism and terrorist threats. The course provides
them with information to help them prevent and respond to domestic
and international terrorist threats. It is now recognized as one of
the top counter-terrorism schools in the nation.
"This has been one of the best training conferences of my (33)
years in law enforcement," said Deputy Chief Larsen. "It was an
honor to have been selected to participate, and the knowledge
gained and contacts made will help me better protect Tulsa and our
nation."
The training included participants from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, United States Secret Service, Naval Criminal
Investigative Service, Coast Guard Investigative Service,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Central Intelligence Agency
Threat Management Unit, and dozens of the largest state and local
agencies from around the country.
