BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi Police Service graduated 66 officers from four advanced instruction courses at the Adnan Training Facility, in the International Zone, here, Dec. 2, as part of the Iraqi government's ongoing effort to train up its security forces.

The courses, consisting of a basic criminal investigation, an organized crime investigation, a civil disorder management, and a mid-level management course ran 28, 9, 15, and 14 students, respectively, through the training.
