Description
English: More than 300 local Iraqis from Euphrates River towns near the Iraqi-Syrian border lined up at the Marines� outpost in hopes of becoming policemen in one of Iraq�s newest police districts June 26, 2006, during a police recruitment drive in Qa�im, Iraq. Despite several attacks on the police force in the nearby city of Husaybah, a border city of about 50,000 people, Maj. Robert C. Marshall, the military transition team officer-in-charge says the Iraqis are willing to serve because a cop�s monthly salary is a lot of money for the average Iraqi � around $100 a month. The push for a police force in the region near the border came after months of urging from the local tribal sheikhs who are eager to see a police force restored with men from their tribes, according to the local police transition team � a group of U.S service members who train, mentor and develop local police forces. The transition team is working on equipping the one of the region�s newest police forces � in Karabilah, a city of about 30,000 citizens � with weapons, flak vests, uniforms and furniture so that the Iraqis can live and work out of their police station.
