FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IRAQI POLICE SERVICE TO GRADUATE LARGEST CLASS EVER
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi Police Service will graduate 1,137 police recruits from a police basic training course at the Jordan International Police Training Center in Amman, Jordan, Thursday, as the single largest graduation of Iraqi officers from the country's basic training course.
Since establishing the formal training requirements for police recruits at the center, approximately 5,700 officers from eight prior iterations have completed training at the school.
The eight-week training program - divided into separate general policing and operational policing components - runs recruits through intensive basic police education in modern policing methods. Instructors from the Multinational Security Transition Command's Civilian Police Assistance Training Team come from 16 different countries.
The Civilian Police Assistance Training Team is specifically tasked with assisting the Iraqi government to train, mentor, and equip its civil security forces.
Graduating officers will return for duty in Iraq to various station assignments throughout the country.
