On April 18, 2023, an intercontinental delegation of chiefs of police and sheriffs participated in the International March of the Living for the first time since the organization’s inception in 1988. Marching alongside 10,000 others, including 42 Holocaust survivors, 16 members of the police delegation, hailing from six different nations across North America and Europe, walked the nearly two-mile path from Auschwitz I to Auschwitz II, or Auschwitz-Birkenau, on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
At the end of the march, nine police executives from the delegation read a signed declaration in support of the event. While on stage, the police delegation pledged its commitment to developing a transnational training program for law enforcement executives. The program, spearheaded by the Miller Center at Rutgers University, the Global Consortium of Law Enforcement Training Executives, the University of Ottawa, the Metropolitan Police Department, the New Jersey State Police, Europol and the Antwerp Police Department, will combine best practices for both Holocaust and hate crime training for law enforcement.
