The training that the Iraq police are receiving is absolutely top notch, and has been devised and designed by top Coalition personnel to speak to the needs of the Iraqi Communities “The new training that the Iraqi Police are receiving will continue to help them get the local security under control,†said Sergeant Richard Forbes Watkins, one of the 202nd Military Police officers with the Coalition forces.
This training and Academy program represents a huge step forward for Iraq Security and Iraqi Police services. The Iraqi people are embracing the efforts and learning to trust the Iraqi Security personnel and policemen, as many of the new police officers are former civilian members of the community scant weeks before their training.
