An important milestone in the development of law and order in Iraq took place today with the offical opening of the Regional Police Training Academy at Az Zubayr.
Watched by senior Iraqi Police and Coalition officers, the first intake of trainees proudly formed up at the formal inauguration of the new academy.
With support and training provided by both military and civilian police from UK, Denmark, Italy and other Coalition countries, and funding from the Coalition Provisional Autority (South), the Academy aims to train over 6,000 Iraqi police officers of all ranks by the end of June 2004- The date when Iraq forms a transitional Goverment.    Besides the Royal Military police, instructors include 24 civilian police officers from all over the UK, as well Italian Carabinieri and support from Czech officers. 
       The V.I.P. Guest speaker was Deputy Chief Constable Stephen White, CPA South's Director of Law and Order.
