TIKRIT, Iraq – Fifty-five Iraqi police recruits graduated from the Iraqi Police Basic Skills course at the Hammam Al Alil Recruit Training Center March 9.

The graduation of this class marks the successful integration of Iraqi police recruits at the HAA RTC, which usually trains Iraqi Army recruits, making it the first combined Iraqi Security Forces Regional Training Center.

“The partnership of the Iraqi Police and the Iraqi Army is critical to the future of Iraq,” said Lt. Col. John Norris, commanding officer, 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Division, who attended the event.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Iraqi police Maj. Gen. Wathiq spoke to the class about their achievement and recognized the Honor Graduates and Distinguished Graduate with gifts and graduation certificates.

“I want to tell the terrorists that we grow stronger day after day and our IP’s are now fully equipped to stand against any force that wants to disrupt peace in Iraq,” said Wathiq.
