Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper seeks to show how social, political, cultural, and environmental factors have combined to impede Iraqi police development in ways that are predictable, understandable, and, with external help, resolvable. The corruption and abuse found in the Iraqi police services cannot simply be explained by poor leadership, the actions of a few corrupt individuals, or even the competing agendas of the various militias that are fighting for influence in post-Saddam Iraq. Rather, one must explain why such practices occur despite the fact they are unacceptable according to Iraqi cultural norms." -- P. v.

This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly every week, newspapers carry stories of the failure of the Iraqi police to provide basic civil security for the citizens of Iraq. Despite millions of dollars in aid, equipment, education, and advisors, more than 4 years later police force development lags far behind the military. Numerous reasons are offered to account for this gap: corrupt practices left over from the previous regime, infiltration by militias, weak leadership, competition by better armed and organized criminal and militant groups, and so on. However, the military is also subject to these same influences, thus none of these explanations by themselves or in combination are satisfactory. But such an explanation is critical if policymakers and advisors are going to successfully facilitate police reform. This paper argues that the poor political and security environment impacts social, political, and cultural factors in ways that are predictable, understandable, and, with external help, resolvable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2007, more than 4 years after the fall of Saddam's regime, a departing Coalition division commander told the author that the failure of the local police forces to provide a permanent security presence was the biggest obstacle to stability in Iraq. In explaining why this was the case, he cited now familiar problems associated with the Iraqi police: corruption, sectarianism, and intimidation by militias and criminal organizations. Nearly every week, newspapers carry stories of the failure of the Iraqi police to provide basic civil security for the citizens of Iraq.Despite the fact that a strong, democratic police force has been recognized since the beginning as critical to establishing a stable democracy in Iraq, its development appears to lag dramatically behind many other governmental and security institutions. Given the millions of dollars in aid, equipment, education, and advisors the U.S. Government has spent, it is worth asking why, 4 years later, there seems to have been little progress. For many observers, in fact, the failure of the Iraqi police seems to be one of the biggest surprises of the war in Iraq, as, unlike the Army, the police were never attacked or disbanded by Coalition forces. As counterinsurgency expert Bruce Hoffman noted in his September 2006 congressional testimony, in the light of the significant improvements in the Iraqi military, the "lack of progress, and reversal of previous advances regarding the Iraqi police are all the more disappointing and disheartening." The purpose of this paper is to offer an account of the difficulties of Iraqi police reform that takes into 2 account social, political, cultural, and environmental factors which, in combination, are impeding Iraqi police development. There are committed leaders within the Iraqi Ministry of Interior and police forces; however, the "culture of crisis" which has arisen since the fall of Saddam complicates their ability to make any headway in reforming the Iraqi police. Despite this, it would be a mistake to conclude that Iraqi culture is incapable of sustaining a just and effective police force. Developing it, however, will require sustained support from Coalition advisors who do not compromise regarding practices which are incompatible with democratic policing. This paper will conclude with suggestions for a way ahead for advisors that allows them to maintain their integrity while still making progress toward building an effective force.

Book excerpt: On October 1, 2011, the Department of State assumed responsibility to train Iraq's police forces and created the Police Development Program (PDP). Originally, the PDP was to be a five-year multibillion dollar program. On October 24, 2011, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) reported serious weaknesses with DoS's PDP planning, including the lack of an assessment of Iraqi police force capabilities, high program overhead costs (chiefly from security), and the absence of any written Government of Iraq (GOI) commitment to the program. This report updates the PDP's programmatic and financial status. SIGIR makes two recommendations to the Secretary of State: 1. Obtain a written agreement with the MOI on the training to be provided, with concurrence on mutually acceptable locations for conducting that training. 2. Develop a spend plan that accounts for all available funding from all program changes, showing how much prior-year funds will be available for fiscal year 2013 program activities and beyond.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2003, the United States has spent about $7.3 billion on a program to help the GOI train, staff, and equip Iraqi police forces to maintain domestic order and deny terrorists a safe haven in Iraq. The program was unprecedented in its magnitude and conducted in a hostile environment with ongoing combat operations. In addition, the existing Iraqi police forces in 2003 were in very poor condition, and a new Iraqi government was in development. Despite these impediments, DoD reports that over 400,000 Iraqi police have received training and are on the force. However, the capabilities of these forces are unknown because no assessments of total force capabilities were made. There were weaknesses in program management in (1) program planning and assessments, (2) communications and coordination between organizations performing the training, and (3) oversight of contract police advisors. The impact of these weaknesses on the program is difficult to quantify but undoubtedly led to inefficiencies and waste. For example, there was no comprehensive plan to guide the program to desired results or assessments to determine if the program was on track. Because of the frequent rotations by military personnel, a comprehensive plan would have provided a foundation for program continuity as military units rotated in and out of Iraq. Also, police advisors, who were critical to the training program, were not always effectively monitored and utilized.
