TIRANA, Feb. 3 – U.S. Ambassador Marcie B. Ries hailed Saturday the graduation of the first group of “Patrol Generalists,” which she considered ‘a milestone for the Albanian State Police and ICITAP – a big step forward in the training and education of new police officers.” She said that for Albania, this means building a competent and modern police service that can rise to meet the ideals of this and future generations – ideals like fairness, integrity, impartiality and service to your country.
