Iraq Police Development Program: Lack of Iraqi Support and Security Problems Raise Questions about the Continued Viability of the Program

Abstract

On October 1, 2011, the Department of State (DoS) 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, the largest DoS-managed program worldwide. 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.
