BAGHDAD — Iraqi Police opened the Al Anbar Police Training Center in Al-Habbaniyah Monday.
The center is tasked with taking citizen recruits and transforming them into Iraqi Police.
Iraqi Minister of Interior Jawad al-Bolani, Al-Anbar provincial government representatives and Coalition personnel were present to celebrate the opening.
The new training center has the capacity to train 750 recruits through 12 courses during a 10-week training session. Some of the courses include democratic policing, the basics of crime and investigation and confronting terrorists, said Steve Ryan, an international police trainer with the Civilian Police Assistance Training Team.
The center also trains recruits in the use of firearms and defense tactics from a civilian police perspective, he said.
Trainees are also taught escalation of force from giving verbal commands to using deadly force to neutralize a threat.
“We want to show [the trainees] that there are less-lethal options available before using deadly force,” said Anthony Pask, an international police trainer with CPATT.
