Abstract
This article aims at highlighting the role of police and the problems of policing in the third world and the involvement of the United States (US) in assisting police forces in these countries to enhance their professional capacities. The article argues that despite its noble goals the US assistance programmes for foreign police have resulted in nothing but human rights violations and militarization of police in the recipient states. Moreover, the US’ lack of competent human resources for such trainings, the lack of internal and external coordination, and absence of clear objectives result in the failure of such programmes. With a clear history of failure of almost all such initiatives, the insistence of the US to train and equip foreign police do not contribute to the globalisation of police and is nothing but arrogance.
