Seems like a positive development. A possible self-defense force against Mehdi Army 'excesses' to come if/when US departs? IRAQI POLICE RECRUITING DRIVE SIGNS UP 1,115 IN AL ANBAR CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – In one of the most successful recruiting efforts in western Iraq to date, 1,115 Iraqi men have recently signed up to join the Police Forces in the restive Al Anbar Province. The new recruits, mostly from the Anbar cities of Ramadi, Fallujah and Hit, will attend a five-week training course at the Jordanian International Police Training College. Following successful completion of the course the new officers will join the more than 8,000 police currently serving in communities throughout Al Anbar Province. The successful recruiting effort this month moves the Government of Iraq and Multi-National Forces West one step closer to achieving the joint goal of ensuring 11,330 trained law enforcement officers are on the job by April 2007. “There are no spectacular victories in a counterinsurgency, but this represents a significant development in the fight for the people of Anbar,” said Coalition spokesman Marine Lt. Col. Bryan Salas. |
