NEW LENOX, IL - The New Lenox Police Department was picked to host a delegation sent by the U.S. Department of State of six high-ranking law enforcement officials and a translator from Albania. The group was in New Lenox last week, March 5-9, for sex crimes investigation training at the New Lenox Police Department.

"The Albanian contingency, who are collaborating with their U.S. counterparts in spearheading the training of the entire Albanian Police Force on Sex Crimes Investigations, will be establishing the investigative process, procedures and policies regarding sex crimes and how they are handled in their country," according to New Lenox Police officials.

New Lenox was picked as the host site due to its location in the central Midwest and within the Chicago region. The Southern Police Institute at the University of Louisville also cited the quality and convenience of the police department facilities at the apex of two major interstate systems, the safe community, and the accessibility of amenities both in and around New Lenox as motives to host the training here.

"We are honored to host our international guests and look forward to the partnerships this training and teamwork will foster," the New Lenox Police Department announced.
