DAHUK, Iraq (USASOC News Service, June 21, 2004) — Coalition Soldiers of the 416th Civil Affairs Battalion provided police officers in the Dahuk Governorate much needed equipment May 5 to better prepare the police department to protect its citizens from crime and to continue the rebuilding of Iraq’s infrastructure.

The Army Reserve unit from Norristown, Pa. headed the project, which included the distribution of 12 desktop computers, three copy machines, three fax machines, three digital cameras and two new police vehicles.

The $30,000 project, funded by the Commander’s Emergency Response Program, was identified as a priority need by community leaders in the region.

“This equipment is important because many of the districts are lacking the necessary vehicles and computer systems to effectively do their jobs to the best of their abilities,” said Sgt. Jeffrey Gliem, the public safety team leader for the 416th.
