BALDWIN: The power of a woman's touch, the nation of Colombia is hoping it can make all the difference in preventing riots. Look at this iReport. Women in gear, on guard in Bogota watching over sports fans. Rafael Romo, let me bring you in on this. Why women?</s>RAFAEL ROMO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Because in Colombia, like in many parts of Latin America, the culture of respecting a lady is still very much ingrained. May seem outdated in other parts of the world, but the idea here is that these women are less likely to pull the trigger, they're less likely to start a confrontation. It's a pilot program that is working very well for them.</s>BALDWIN: Are the women being trained any differently than, say, a man?</s>ROMO: The training is exactly the same. They use the same equipment as the men. They use the same tactics. There's absolutely no difference. The only difference, if you can call it that is that so far it's only 55 women. But depending on the success of this program, that number is likely to increase in the future.</s>BALDWIN: Just curious, are they older women, younger women, single women that do this?</s>ROMO: They have a little bit of everything, really. Many of these women because of the physical requirements tend to be younger. But there's also mothers, there's also sisters, all kinds of women there.</s>BALDWIN: This is specifically for sporting events or --</s>ROMO: Not only that. But one of the things that I found surprising is that these women were in action during the summit of the Americas in Cartagena back in April. And as you know, multiple heads of state attended that summit. So that gives you an idea of the level of trust that the Colombian government is placing upon those women. And also how important they have become.</s>BALDWIN: Rafael, thank you very much.</s>ROMO: Thank you.</s>BALDWIN: That is it for me here in Atlanta. Still getting over the fact that Smokey Robinson serenaded me a couple of minutes ago. Thank you so much for watching. "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer begins now.
