Description
English: Iraqi police officers perform security drills in a village near the Iraq-Syria border, where they provide security for the town�s roughly 2,000 residents, July 28, 2006. Thanks to months of training and mentoring by U.S. Marines and soldiers, Iraqi police in western Al Anbar Province are now operating independently out of their own police station in this Iraq-Syria border region. Just a few months ago, there were no police here. Now, the city has dozens of officers who provide local security for the city�s 30,000 residents. A bonafide police force in this region was unheard of just three years ago. The lack of security made this border-city a hangout for terrorists until Marines conducted a large-scale operation in 2005 to clear the area of insurgents, according to the Marine leaders here. �The Iraqi police are beginning to provide security on their own,� said Lt. Col. Nicholas F. Marano, commanding officer of 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment. �The work that Marines have been doing over the last couple months is starting to show.�
