(JNS.org) Israel Police Commissioner Insp. Gen. Yohanan Danino will receive a leadership award presented by the U.S.-based Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) at a special ceremony this week. Danino has been chosen for the annual honor for his contribution to law enforcement and for serving as an example of upholding the highest standards in policing on an international level. Previous recipients of the award include New York Police Commissioner William Bratton and Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.

In recent years, the Israel Police has put significant effort into improving ties with other law enforcement agencies. This includes sharing intelligence, joint exercises, and overall cooperation. One of the largest Israel Police projects in recent years has been improving cooperation with Jordanian and Palestinian Authority law enforcement.
