Community Involvement
Over 100 individuals and organizations in the Milwaukee County/Greenfield area participated in this phase of the program. The large number of contributors is a testament to the success of the first phase of the program (Mar 30 - Apr 13, 2001) and to the commitment of the Phase II delegation (led by Chief Springob) in bringing the community together.

Level of Participation
Over 12 U.S. police chiefs and the Milwaukee County Sheriff participated, including a 10-person law-enforcement panel on Monday, April 1, where the U.S. chiefs out-numbered the Ukrainian delegates 5 to 2. The Mayor of Greenfield Timothy Seider proclaimed Mar 29 - Apr 13 "Ukrainian Partnership Days."

Cost Share
In-kind contributions from the Milwaukee and Greenfield community were very high (much due to the benevolent and good-natured chief of the Greenfield Police Dept.).

Media Coverage
Project Harmony prepared "media-packets," which helped to spread accurate spellings and details of PH and CPTI's respective roles during this program. An article came out in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the Greenfield Observer about the program. There was some concern, however, about the choice of the photos included in the articles, as one was of the leader of the delegation very aggressively firing a gun (Community Policing…?)

Ukrainian Delegation
The Ukrainian delegation was a very focused and professional group that came ready to observe, study, and share their own professional and personal experience. The delegation had been well selected and prepared for their trip before they even arrived in the US.

Domestic Violence Roundtable
During the Domestic Violence Response roundtable on Friday 5, the delegation learned about the partnership between the police and community organizations in providing victims with support, training, shelter, and protection. They also learned how, in the US, the issue of domestic violence evolved from a family to a criminal matter.

Recruiting, Training, and Evaluation Meetings
The delegation had three sessions during which they discussed critical HRM issues for law-enforcement agencies. During their visit to the Milwaukee Safety Academy (April 2), they raised many questions about standards and curriculum. The delegation learned more about police evaluation and recruiting during their meeting with the Executive Director of Milwaukee's Fire and Police Commission (April 2). While at the Milwaukee Area Technical College (April 9), the delegation received an overview of MATC's Police Science Program, their in-service training, firearms training, and emergency vehicle training.

Phase II Delegation Commitment
The U.S. Delegation from Phase II (Sept. 2001) was on hand to help this group and to contribute to the continuity of this program. Phase II Alumni Frank Springob, Terry Witkowski, Chuck Fletcher, and Joel Dhein were critical to the success of Phase III.

Host Families
All four of the host families had hosted during Phase I. The delegates had already learned important details of their host families from their Ukrainian colleagues who had stayed one year before. In addition, the host families were very experienced in providing their Ukrainian guests with the necessary cultural context to make their professional program very rewarding.

Cultural Time
With the majority of the professional program focusing on in-depth law-enforcement, community, and education-related issues, the delegation welcomed the change of pace during the cultural time. The cultural program including sporting events, museum visits, restaurants, host-family time, a day in Chicago, and a visit to the State Capitol in Madison.

Final Banquet
On April 11, the community came together (65 people) at Klemmer's Restaurant to be recognized by the Greenfield Police Department for their contribution to Phase III. The Ukrainian delegation also thanked the community for making their program successful. Festivities at banquet included Ukrainian dancers, speeches, gifts, and live music
