IRAQI POLICE SERVICE GRADUATES 140 FROM SPECIALTY TRAINING

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi Police Service graduated 140 officers from four advanced instruction courses at the Adnan Training Facility, Dec. 9, as part of the Iraqi government's ongoing effort to train up its security forces.

The courses, consisting of a basic criminal investigation, a first-line supervision, a kidnapping/hostage negotiation, and a post-blast investigation course ran 41, 39, 42, 18 students, respectively through the training.

Officers spent two weeks negotiating three of the four specialty skill courses intended to augment the standard eight-week police training all officers undergo prior to service. The "kidnapping" course was a one week course.

The Baghdad area officers report back for continued duty at their respective stations immediately.
