| The Iraqi Highway Patrol graduated 49 recruits from the interim Highway Patrol Academy in Al Mehaweel Feb. 6. The officers completed a three-week training course combining components of police ethics and policing in a democratic society with the operational skills needed by the IHP in preparation for their mission to secure the nation's highways. A strong emphasis was given to firearms training and vehicle mounted patrolling. Tasked with providing law enforcement and security along Iraq's highways and major roadways, the IHP will also respond to incidents involving anti-Iraqi forces, foreign terrorists, car bombs and attacks on convoys. Currently, there are approximately 600 highway patrol officers on the force, which is slated to reach 6,300 officers in July 2006. The next IHP course, scheduled for mid-February, will include a train-the-trainers block of instruction in which Iraqis will be trained as instructors. These instructors will then conduct future training courses for the IHP. "You 49 graduates represent one more step toward our goal of securing Iraq's roads for the people of Iraq," said Major General Ali, IHP commissioner. Broderick Crawford lives. |

| #4 I think that one came from BakerMedia... Uneven collection, heh. The good stuff, of course, is branded and the photoshopping is so good you hate to change the name, even if it makes no sense. Try Worth 1000 and SomethingAwful - they have themed "competitions". There's always fark, of course - but the little contests have lost much of their original lustre - and quality. |
