  Les Forces armées canadiennes font don de 6,5 millions de dollars en équipement aux Forces armées libanaises

  Le 16 mai 2023 – Ottawa – Défense nationale / Forces armées canadiennes Le 26 avril 2023, les Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) et les Forces armées libanaises (FAL) ont tenu une cérémonie à Beyrouth, au Liban, au cours de laquelle 6,5 millions de dollars en équipement non létal ont été donnés aux FAL. L'équipement donné comprenait des raquettes, des bâtons de randonnée, des motoneiges, des trousses de premiers soins, des véhicules utilitaires, du matériel de neutralisation des explosifs et des panneaux solaires. Cet équipement soutiendra les FAL et s'ajoute à la formation que les FAC ont dispensée tout au long de l'année, y compris de la formation en secourisme au combat, à la coopération civilo-militaire et aux techniques de guerre hivernale. Depuis 2016, l'Équipe canadienne d’aide à l’instruction (ECAI-L) a fourni des dons d'équipement spécialisé aux FAL et a formé plus de 2 000 membres du personnel des FAL dans le cadre de sa mission durable de contribuer à la sécurité et à la stabilité dans la région, sous le mandat de l’opération (Op) IMPACT. L'ambassadrice du Canada auprès de la République du Liban, Stefanie McCollum; le commandant adjoint de l'Op IMPACT, le colonel Jay Lachine; le vice-chef d’état-major des opérations des FAL, le brigadier-général Hassan Jounieh; ainsi que plusieurs autres officiers supérieurs et sous-officiers des FAC et des FAL, ont assisté à la cérémonie de remise des dons. https://www.canada.ca/fr/ministere-defense-nationale/nouvelles/2023/05/les-forces-armees-canadiennes-font-don-de-65-millions-de-dollars-en-equipement-aux-forces-armees-libanaises.html

  Simulation Technologies & Training for Law Enforcement

  CASEY BRUNELLE © 2018 FrontLine (Vol 15, No 4) The realities of modern frontline policing – from increasingly broad and demanding operational mandates and changing environmental constraints, to the constant pressure of real-time public scrutiny – have never been more challenging. Traditional crime prevention and response have long been coupled with the requirements of community-oriented public safety, counter-terrorism measures. Lately that has further included the implications of social media and the instantaneous reporting of officers' actions, in some cases spread worldwide before formal inquiries can even begin. Effective training solutions, more so than ever before, rely on a holistic and judgmental regime that can replicate to the best possible degree the tactical challenges of response, the fluidity of operational changes on the ground, and the importance of informed decision-making strategies that keeps the safety of the public at the forefront of all policing actions. In an era of hyper-connectivity, public scrutiny can sometimes lead to denouncements of police actions within minutes, through traditional and novel media alike, often riddled with accusations of institutionalized racism, systemic brutality, and discretionary justice. These shifts in technology and the underlying public culture are not exclusive to the United States; they are increasingly fluid game-changers throughout the West and law enforcement policymakers and frontline officers rarely go a day without considering their implications or witnessing their consequences for themselves. There is no doubt that this is will have a positive result in the long run, and simulated training is being seen as one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to ensure the right decision-making processes become ingrained. Increasingly, law enforcement agencies at the local, provincial, and national level are recognizing the utility of replicating these fluid challenges with advanced simulations and virtual and augmented reality technologies. From the use of wireless small arms platforms (such as BlueFire technology from Meggitt Training System) and simulators of cruisers for high-speed pursuits (such as the “souped up” version from General Electric), to customizable hardware that can be used to construct any building interiors at will (as in the flexibility offered by Mobile Police Training Structures), simulations technology has become one of the most effective and cost-efficient measures in ensuring that police are as equipped as possible to handle the evolving challenges of their profession.
