KABUL, Afghanistan – Nearly 300 Afghan National Civil Order Police recently graduated from a four-month course at a Regional Training Centre in Herat.
The police learned tactical and patrol skills, to include counter-improvised explosive device and anti-riot procedures from their Italian Carabinieri instructors.
“The training provided covers a variety of aspects and is meant to increase operational capabilities and survivability,” said Lt. Col. Michele Facciorusso, head of Herat’s Specialty Training Team, a part of NATO’s Training Mission-Afghanistan.
Graduate Saed Qasim said he was excited to begin work as a policeman.
“I’m proud to be part of an elite corps,” he said. “I learned a lot during the four-month course thanks to the Afghan and ISAF trainers.
“I’m now looking forward to serving my country,” he added.
The mission of ANCOP is essential to police reform and counter-insurgency in Afghanistan and is two-fold. Units are divided into two main types: urban and rural units. Urban units establish law and order in population centers, while rural units work in high risk rural areas.
