Arthur Balizan, the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Oregon, has presented the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award to the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) for the organization’s outstanding efforts in the areas of community cooperation, education and crime prevention efforts, and youth services.
“It is with great honor that we recognize IRCO for its work helping to bridge the gap between law enforcement and some of the most vulnerable populations in our community,” said Mr. Balizan. “IRCO teaches people new to our country that they have a right to live without the fear of persecution and retribution by law enforcement that can be all too common in other parts of the world.”
The FBI will be flying Mr. Sokhom Tauch, RICO Executive Director to Washington DC in the near future to receive the award in person.
