Senior Police Advisor
Department of State - International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL)
Dakar, Senegal | Onsite | Full-Time
About Us
Totally Joined for Achieving Collaborative Techniques (TJFACT) is a minority-owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) delivering mission-focused professional services and technology solutions to the U.S. Government. Our teams support critical federal missions through collaboration, innovation, and operational excellence while building lasting partnerships with our customers, employees, and industry partners.
About This Position
TJFACT is seeking a well-qualified Senior Police Advisor to support the Department of State - INL/AME office, at the U.S. Embassy Dakar, Senegal. This position is equivalent to a Police Advisor Level 5.
As the INL Senior Police Advisor (SPA) at the U.S. Embassy Dakar, the incumbent assists the INL Regional Director and Program Coordinator (Director/Coordinator) by advising, monitoring, and managing training and other INL security-sector reform projects in Senegal. The SPA is responsible for assisting the Director/Coordinator in monitoring, advising, and collaborating with INL implementing partners in Senegal and other countries in the region as assigned. Additionally, the SPA will support INL program and project design and implementation to improve the institutional capacity of Senegal's law enforcement institutions. The position requires close coordination with the Senegalese National Police (NP), Gendarmerie, and other Senegalese law enforcement agencies at both the executive and mid-level leadership levels. The primary responsibility of this third-party contractor is to coordinate with the Dakar-based INL Regional Director and Coordinator and INL staff, as well as the Washington DC-based INL/AME Program Officer, INL implementing partners, U.S. law enforcement agencies (e.g. FBI, DEA), the Senegalese National Police, Gendarmerie, and other Senegalese law enforcement and relevant agencies on the development and implementation of law enforcement assistance. This includes advising on topics including curriculum development at the National Police School (NPS), cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime investigations, port security, counternarcotics operations, transnational organized crime, overall technical skill development, and equipment provision. The SPA also provides advisory services on INL-supported projects and works closely with INL implementers and program beneficiaries to ensure high-quality law enforcement instruction, advising, and technical assistance. Additionally, the SPA will advise on wide-ranging policy, and technical law enforcement matters relative to U.S. contributions and participation in police development programs and operations in relation to Senegalese civilian security and regional stability.
Please note: This position is being recruited in support of a TPC proposal effort. Any offer of employment is contingent upon contract award and successful completion of all pre-employment requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Assess/Advise
  • Participate in the continual analysis and evaluation of Senegalese law enforcement institutions, including the National Police, Gendarmerie, OCRTIS (Central Office for the Repression of Illicit Drug Trafficking), the Joint Container Control Unit (JCCU), Senegal's cyber security institutions, and other related law enforcement agencies to regularly assess the impact of INL programming.
  • Provide expertise on public security issues in Senegal to the INL Director/Coordinator or their designee, the Ambassador/Chargé d'Affaires, other relevant Embassy officers, and INL's Washington DC-based program office. Analysis and evaluation will cover law enforcement agencies at the national and regional level, as well as specific municipal forces and specialized units. The assessments will include operational effectiveness, leadership, training, outreach to communities and civil society, mobility, communications, and equipment.
  • Visit, review, and analyze the capabilities of National Police training facilities, particularly the NPS, used in INL-supported projects and advise the INL Regional Director/Coordinator on projects, policies, and events to increase efficiency and productivity of the NPS and other training facilities.
  • Provide technical assistance to National Police leadership and officers, training academy and facility directors, as requested, in improving operations, investigations, police administration, resource management, internal discipline procedures, and overall reform efforts.
  • Assist with assessments of cybercrime investigation capabilities across Senegalese law enforcement agencies and provide recommendations for engagements, including equipment needs, training priorities, or process development.

  • Under the direction of the INL Regional Director/Coordinator, coordinate with the Embassy's Regional Security Office (RSO), Department of Defense, FBI, DHS/HSI, and other U.S. law enforcement agencies, as well as other international donors to develop and deconflict security assistance activities and ensure that INL programs are complementary and not redundant with other donor-funded support.

Program & Project Planning, Development, and Execution
  • Assist with planning and developing training projects in accordance with INL/Dakar, Mission, and U.S. Department of State goals and objectives, with particular emphasis on cybercrime, National Police School curriculum modernization, port security, and counternarcotics programming.
  • Coordinate with partners on project implementation by monitoring and reporting on significant developments, evaluating results, supporting necessary mid-course adjustments, and monitoring and evaluation as part of project close-out procedures.
  • Coordinate National Police School Curriculum Development: Serve as the primary INL technical liaison for the NPS curriculum modernization project, working closely with implementing experts and NPS staff to develop, review, and pilot training curriculum in specialized areas including basic police functions, organized crime investigations, counterterrorism operations, intelligence, and cybercrime. Review all curriculum materials to ensure alignment with U.S. law enforcement standards and best practices. Coordinate procurement of specialized training equipment to support curriculum implementation.
  • Assist with overseeing Cybercrime Programming: Provide strategic oversight and technical coordination for multiple cybercrime-related projects. Ensure complementarity between projects and facilitate information sharing between U.S. interagency partners and Senegalese counterparts. Monitor the establishment of interagency cybercrime coordination mechanisms and information-sharing protocols across the National Police, Judicial Police, Gendarmerie, OCRTIS, and Ministry of Finance cybercrime units.
  • Coordinate closely with INL implementers, U.S. law enforcement, the National Police, OCRTIS, Gendarmerie, JCCU, and international donors to implement programs of specialized basic and advanced training courses to develop the capacity of Senegalese law enforcement forces in basic policing and investigations, cybercrime investigations, financial crime investigations, port security, and advanced investigative techniques.
  • Work with the INL Regional Director/Coordinator to provide technical assistance to INL implementing partners and government partners to improve national and regional standardized training courses for law enforcement personnel, ensuring that courses are approved by relevant Senegalese authorities and meet international standards.
  • Provide feedback to INL Regional Director/Coordinator to improve training and technical assistance projects across all program areas.
  • Assist with monitoring implementation of port security programming, ensuring effective training delivery and equipment utilization for cargo scanning, container inspections, and dangerous goods compliance.
  • Assist with the design of INL regional law enforcement programming in other countries in the region as identified and needed.

Strategic and Budget Planning
  • Support the INL/Dakar team on all phases of project execution from development through implementation, including planning, scheduling, budgeting, monitoring, and coordination.
  • Identify logistical support requirements by providing advice and assistance in preparation of documentation for procurement of technical services, training and commodities, and the monitoring of procurement actions, including drafting source-origin waivers, bid solicitations, scopes of work, and delivery of procured items to support INL projects.
  • Under the direction of the INL Regional Director/Coordinator, review and advise on budget plans for INL projects in Senegal and other countries in the region as needed to ensure projects match the policies and objectives of INL and regional strategies.

Integration & Coordination with Complementary Programs
  • Coordinate with U.S., international, NGO, and Senegalese institutions and agencies to ensure that INL's law enforcement assistance is coordinated with other assistance programs.
  • Facilitate coordination between multiple INL implementing partners to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication of efforts.
