Brian Sherota, Director of the Taipei Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) within the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), along with his supervisor Jeremiah Gonzalez, visited President Yang Yuan-ming on April 10, 2023.

On April 10, 2023, Brian Sherota, Director of the Taipei Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),

and his supervisor Jeremiah Gonzalez visited President Yang Yuan-ming. Mr. Gonzalez and Mr. Sherota, two HSI supervisors, met with President Yang to discuss crime issues and law enforcement strategies. With more than 40 years of practical police experience (including 28 years in crime investigation), Mr. Yang exchanged views with the visitors. Both sides agreed that fraud, drug smuggling, human trafficking and money laundering cases involving organized crime syndicates have gradually developed towards crimes committed by technology, internet and cross-border in recent years, and have become a threat to public security in many countries, and it is urgent to enhance the technological detection capability of law enforcement departments. In addition, it is imperative to enhance the technological detection capability of law enforcement departments, and at the same time, technological detection capability should be rooted in police education and training to optimize the professional capabilities of future law enforcement officers. In addition, strengthening international police and law enforcement cooperation is also an important issue that should be addressed without delay.

During the meeting, President Yang pointed out that in recent years, Taiwan's law and order has continued to improve in a stable manner and has been ranked among the best in the world in terms of law and order, with a decreasing trend in the number of criminal cases and an increasing detection rate. During their stay in Taiwan, they

have felt that Taiwan's law and order has been excellent, and that they feel very safe while walking and engaging in activities outdoors, no matter in the daytime or at night, in the city or in the countryside. They kept praising the professionalism and seriousness of the Taiwan police.

After the two-hour’s visit , the American staff visited the World Police Museum and was impressed with its rich collection (police history, documents, uniforms and equipment from 82 countries) and its educational value, which is worth recommending to their colleagues and friends.
