BAGHDAD — A U.S. military police brigade deployed in Baghdad is teaching Iraqi Police about democratic principles such as tolerance in addition to law enforcement skills, the unit’s commander said Friday.
“Our fundamental role here is to support the Iraqi Security Forces as the Iraqi government moves forward towards securing the populace,” Army Col. Michael S. Galloucis, commander of the 89th Military Police Brigade, told Pentagon reporters during a satellite-telecast news conference.
Galloucis said his unit is focused on training local Iraqi police and not the national police, which are instructed by other Coalition forces.
