Iraqi Leaders Meet With Coalition Officers In Joint Progress Meeting
The leaders of the coalition and the Iraqi government met recently to discuss how things are going overall in the nation of Iraq. The best new issue that has happened is the new amount of citizen tips that are pouring in on a daily basis.
In the last 90 days, more than 5,000 tips have come pouring in from citizens, regarding weapons, suspected insurgents, and different amounts of weapons. This has led to over 300 different criminal cases being solved, and the solution has been literally as simple as a contribution from citizens.
The number of people that are able to respond to different situations has also risen, the tips from citizens are one thing, but the ability to respond is linked to the increased numbers of security personnel across the board. There are increased numbers of Iraqi police officials, more Iraqi Army members, as well as new members in the citizen Sons of Iraq organization.
The best information has been given by the citizens to security personnel, either coalition officials, or members of the Iraqi Security forces. Simply having more people to participate in security issues has given the nation of Iraq more flexibility to respond, and also given the nation a greater safety and security margin because there are more and better trained people able to respond to even small complaints.
