Good News from Iraq: 10 Jun 2007

From MNF-I, New police training center promotes law, order.

Iraqi Police opened the Al Anbar Police Training Center in Al-Habbaniyah Monday.

The center is tasked with taking citizen recruits and transforming them into Iraqi Police. . . .

The new training center has the capacity to train 750 recruits through 12 courses during a 10-week training session. Some of the courses include democratic policing, the basics of crime and investigation and confronting terrorists, said Steve Ryan, an international police trainer with the Civilian Police Assistance Training Team.

The center also trains recruits in the use of firearms and defense tactics from a civilian police perspective, he said.

Trainees are also taught escalation of force from giving verbal commands to using deadly force to neutralize a threat. . . .
