BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Afghan national police took strides toward taking more control of their own security after a joint team of Soldiers with the 235th Military Police Company and Airmen with the Bagram Provincial Reconstruction Team led them through a leadership seminar April 2-4.Police chiefs from seven districts across Kapisa Province received classroom instruction on ethics, values, leadership, community policing, map reading, running a tactical operations center, basic communication, hygiene and logistics. Completion of this course made them the first Afghan police leaders to complete this type of training.
“This training was virgin territory for them and for us,” said Army Lt. Col. James Slagowski, 201st Regional Security Assistance Command Central senior mentor for Kapisa ANP. “The classes went very well. We had excellent instruction and great participation. I know they will take the lessons they learned here and pass it on to their subordinates.”
Not only did the training serve to teach leadership skills to local ANP, but it also helped with increasing interoperability between the ANP, Afghan national army and coalition forces.
