Law enforcement cooperation ramps up in US-affiliated islands

Law enforcement co-operation between the United States and its affiliated islands in the north Pacific will expand as the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has assigned a special agent to be responsible for liaising with the three freely associated states (FAS). Law enforcement co-operation between the United States and the Marshall Islands “is striking” and extremely broad in the many areas it covers, said US Ambassador Karen Stewart at a recent event in Majuro to honour cooperation between the islands and the US.
