MOSUL, IRAQ (April 26, 2005) – Over 450 new Iraqi policemen crossed paths as new recruits flew off to the Jordanian Police Academy and newly trained policemen arrived in northern Iraq Monday.

Nearly 115 Iraqi policemen arrived in Mosul following an eight-week training course at the Jordanian Police Academy. The course incorporated training on basic police work including firearms training, drivers training, and hand-to-hand combat. Another 347 recruits departed Mosul to begin their training to become Iraqi Police.

Iraqi Police in the Ninewah Province have gained a number of new recruits as citizens show growing interest in defending their own freedom. Citizens continue to step up to meet the challenges of providing security and supporting Iraqi and Multi-National Forces with call-in tips.
