IRAQI POLICE GRADUATE MORE THAN 1,400 FROM BASIC TRAINING

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi Police Service graduated 1,423 officers from the Basic Police Training Course at the Jordan International Police Training Center in Amman, Jordan, Dec. 16, as the Iraqi government continues the police force training effort in the country.

The graduation marked the completion of the eight-week training course recruits with no experience negotiate before reporting for duty. Prior-service officers attend a three week "transition integration program" course of instruction.

IPS basic training runs recruits through instruction in the fundamentals of policing skills, techniques and ideals of law enforcement in a free society preparing recruits for law enforcement operations throughout the country.

All graduates will deploy immediately for duty at stations throughout Iraq.
