French police major talks about Afghanistan experience

Visiting French Major LeBlanc of the National Gendarmerie, French Armed Forces, talked about policing in France and fighting corruption in Afghanistan, to a attentive audience of over 50 persons on June 26.

His talk was during Tuesday’s Ada Rotary Club meeting at The Inn at ONU. Also attending were members of the Ada Kiwanis, Ada police and interested Ada residents. LeBlanc and Ada Police Chief Mike Harnishfeger have been friends for several years. 

Telling about his Afghanistan experience, the major said his tour there was to demonstrate to the Afghan people and to the international community that high-level public corruption will not be tolerated.
