The goal of this program is to improve and institutionalize Panamanian interdiction capabilities through targeted, sustainable projects. The Law Enforcement Program Manager will advise and assist INL and U.S. Embassy Panama City in their efforts to help Panama interdict narcotics and criminal trafficking groups across multiple INL Panama supported programs including maritime and land interdiction, customs and immigration reform, and corrections security enhancement and reform.
