MOSUL, Iraq –Sixty-three Iraqi police graduated from an advanced police course at the Al Kisik training compound outside of Tal Afar May 5.

The 10-day course covered a range of tasks. The IPs learned how to perform first aid and evaluate a casualty. They learned procedures 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.

According to Sgt. James Allen, service battery, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery, who is an instructor at the compound, the advanced course followed other training the police went through.

“They go through a couple courses in Jordan, and the training the police receive at Al Kisik builds on their previous instruction,” said Allen.

This training is yet another example of Iraqis continuing to take a stand for freedom and security.
