NATO support for Afghan police
08 August 2006
1 MIN READ
As part of NATO’s support to Afghanistan , Provincial Reconstruction Teams from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) have been assisting the Afghan police through training and equipment donations.
On 8 August, 19 policemen from Badghis Province (western Afghanistan), completed a course by the Spanish-led ISAF Provincial Reconstruction Team in Qwala e Naw, which broadened the police’s training to encompass cooperation between the police and the military.
The training course focused on patrols, checkpoints, protection of dignitaries, public order training, first aid and protection against explosives.
Part of broader assistance
Similarly, on 9 August, ISAF soldiers from the Chagcharan Provincial Reconstruction Team presented a donation of six motorcycles to police officers serving in the Ghor province.
Motorcycles are one of the most effective modes of transport in the province, where the condition of the roads can be extremely poor.
These smaller projects are part of broader assistance that NATO-ISAF is providing to the Afghan authorities in building up the country's security forces, including the Afghan National Police.
This includes both joint patrols and security operations, and training and capacity-building.
