KALSU — Iraqi Policemen from the Babil and Karbala provinces took a big step on the journey towards Provincial Iraqi Control on Feb. 10.

The Iraqi Police stations across the Babil and Karbala provinces sent 20 dedicated, experienced officers to the forward operating base to attend the Iraqi police sustainment training program. After 10 days, the officers graduated the course having gained valuable knowledge to provide advanced instruction to fellow officers at their home stations.

“The training was very, very good. I learned so much in this program,” said Raeed Shahid, from the Iskandariyah police station. “God willing, we will assist in a better future here in Iraq.”
