NINEVAH, Iraq - Iraqis continue to take a stand for freedom and security. In northern Iraq, thirty-six Iraqis graduated from an advanced police course on May 7 and in doing so made a promise to build a stronger Iraq.
According to Sgt. James Allen, service battery, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery, the advanced course followed other training the police went through.
"They go through a couple courses in Jordan," said Allen, a native of Vicksburg, Miss.
The police train at an Iraqi Army compound at Al Kisik. According to Allen the training the police receive at al Kisik builds on their previous instruction.
"Detainee operations is a good thing they go through. Building clearing is very effective here. [Traffic control point operations] is one of the most important things they'll learn because 90 percent of the time that's what they'll be doing."
The 10-day course covered a range of tasks. The IPs learned how to perform first aid and evaluate a casualty. They learned tactics, including cordons, patrols, react to small-arms fire, searching buildings, and other tactics which will help them keep the peace while minimizing danger to themselves.
