Published 18 June 2013

Skokie, Ill. police chief Brian Baker was one of about forty selected law enforcement personnel to take the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) three-day Advanced Training School course, held in Washington, D.C., on the subjects of terrorism and extremism. So far, more than 850 law enforcement executives have completed the training program since the ADL launched it in 2003. The ADL, founded in 1913, has established itself as one of the leading nongovernmental authorities on domestic terrorism, extremism, organized hate groups, and hate crimes. The organization created the Advanced Training School to offer top U.S. law enforcement personnel resources and information to fight criminal extremism and terrorist threats.
