Community Policing in Basra

In a move that would have been unthinkable a few months ago, British police officers have been walking the streets of Basra with their Iraqi counterparts.


Following a meeting with Major General Adel of the Iraqi Police Service, Assistant Chief Constable Geoff Cooper and Chief Inspector Alan Costello walked along the banks of the Sha’at Al Arab waterway.



In doing so they demonstrated the development of the Iraqi Police Service in their efforts to increase public and community support.
