Brendon La Touche is currently in the United States participating on the US Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Programme (IVLP).

He is taking part in a 3-week project on “Combating Trafficking in Persons” from 6-27 July.  La Touche is a Crown Counsel in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Grenada. The Office of the DPP is responsible for the effective prosecution of all criminal related matters in Grenada.

During the programme, he and other participants will review US government strategies to combat international trafficking in persons, including crimes against women and children, by examining the formulation, administration, and enforcement of US policy on the national, state, and local levels. The participants will also explore initiatives to recognise, protect, and assist victims of abuse and trafficking, including victim recovery and reintegration programs; and investigate international law enforcement cooperation in trafficking in persons cases.

The International Visitor Leadership Programme (IVLP) is the Department of State’s premier professional exchange programme. The programme brings together emerging leaders in their respective professions to learn from how US experts in this profession operate, and to share best practices with the other programme fellows who hail from the same region and across the globe.

    Well done Mr. La Touche. However, why are my employees refused visas to attend specialist training courses in the US after we have paid the application fees, flights to Barbados for interview etc and they are in possession of supporting documentation which the consular officer refuses to even look at. The interview lasts all of 3 minutes. My staff do not want to abscond in the US, they are sponsored by US companies for a finite 5 day training period and would be accompanied by management at all times. It would be nice if we could be allowed to upskill our Grenadian staff and empower them with the help of the US authorities. No cost to you, just an understanding of what we are trying to achieve.
