KABUL, Afghanistan – Members of Wardak’ Afghan National Police – Provincial Response Company put the skills recently acquired during a Police Speciality Training into practical use at a traffic control point.
ANP-PRC officers put their new skills to use at a highly-used TCP in the Wardak district. This area is often frequented by members of insurgent forces. At the TCP the ANP officers searched suspicious vehicles, took fingerprints and tested for explosive residue.
ANP-PRC and coalition forces also detected two Improvise Explosive Device in the vicinity of the TCP site. A coalition forces counter-IED team cordoned off the area and conducted a controlled explosion and detonated a total of 350 pounds of home-made explosives.
“This operation is a great example of the Wardak ANP-PRC demonstrating their enhanced capacity and reinforces their legitimacy as the premier law enforcement agency in the district” said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director.
