Hi..I'm not sure wether this queston was better suited to the "deployed" or " brothers of the sheild" forums so I decided to pose the question in both places. (Dupe Police can KMA) sorry if that's a big no-no.


My brother is UK London MET Police (S.O. armed) He has the oppertunity to go to Iraq or Jordan to help train the Iraq Police. Has anyone got any thoughts or suggestions on this. Comments from anyone who had served there are especialy welcome. His tour is voluntary for 12 months.

Many thanks

Is this under the CivPol program through DynCorp?  He needs to watch his 6, the Iraqi PD gets hit hard and often, they are favored targets.  You also have to watch the PD themselves, just ask the Brits in Basrah!  CivPol has a high turn over...many LEO's sign up and walk into a whole new world they thought they were ready for and find the actual experiece a bit different from rustling criminals on the streets of the US.
