English: Iraqi police officers enter a police compound in Baghdadi, Iraq, Aug.12, 2006, in a new police vehicle. New uniforms and equipment, such as pistols, handcuffs, batons and police cars were recently issued to the Iraqi Police in Baghdadi, Iraq. After 30 recent graduates from the Iraqi police academy came to Baghdadi, residents in this Saddam-era military housing complex there are expressing interest in joining the police force because they are noticing a decrease in insurgent activity. Marines with the Hawaii-based 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, are combating insurgency with the local police officers � who recently received �much needed� new gear to get the job done � pistols, protective vests, rifles and batons to use while patrolling the streets. Soon they will receive radios and police cars, said Maj. Eric Kelly, 36, the commanding officer of Weapons Company. Recently the police, along with Iraqi soldiers, captured 15 suspected insurgents for attacks against Coalition Forces. They also seized a cache of small-arms weapons in the city.
