MAYSAN, Iraq - Sixteen hundred Iraqi police officers graduated from Basic Police Recruit Training at the Maysan Police Training Center here Sept. 17.
Training for BRT Class 09-07 consisted of a four- week/240-hour training curriculum which included courses in Iraqi Police Organization, Police Conduct and Discipline, Uniform and Equipment, Drill and Ceremony, Defensive Tactics, Firearms and Less Than Lethal Weapons, Physical Skills Training, and Human Rights.
Graduating students were from multiple district stations throughout the Maysan Province.
During his commencement speech, Training Center Dean, Iraqi Lt. Col. Gazi Hameed Samare, remarked that the graduating students will return to their assignments better prepared to serve their communities throughout the Maysan Province in a modern, effective, community-police fashion.
The graduation ceremony was attended by officials from the office of the Provincial Chief of Police, Provincial Emergency Response Units, MND-S Task Force 4-6 Battalion Commander, Lt. Col. Robert Menist and members of Maysan Police Transition Team stationed at Combat Outpost Station Gary Owen. The mission of the team is to train, advise, assist and enable the Maysan Provincial Training Center and district police stations to progress towards self-sustainment and Iraqi Police primacy.
Upon completion of the graduation ceremony, students commented that their BRT training was "…exceptional, and has prepared them to meet the many challenges of policing in Iraq." They further emphasized that they are committed to helping improve the internal security and stability of Iraq and the Maysan Province, and appreciate the training and assistance that they continue to receive from the multi-national forces.
The Maysan Provincial Training Center is expected to commence a 12th BRT class in late September with a class size of nearly 2,000 IP recruits. In addition to basic recruit training, the MPTC and the MPTT are currently scheduling multiple specialized in-service training courses in preparation for upcoming elections in January. It is the intention of the Maysan governance (including police and military authorities) to have safe, secure, successful, and uneventful election activities throughout the province.
