    KABUL, Afghanistan – One hundred seventeen Afghan National Police graduated from training at Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, Wednesday.

    The officers completed an eight-week police skills course at the Joint Security Academy Southwest. The course consisted of six weeks of Ministry of Interior mandated training and two weeks of “core plus” training, which includes enhanced marksmanship, patrolling and combat skills training.

    The graduation marks the sixth class of ANP officers to graduate from JSAS, totalling more than 487 police officers, who now provide security in Helmand province and the surrounding area.
    The JSAS trains ANP and Afghan National Army recruits.

    Afghan Brig. Gen. Hakim Angar, Helmand Provincial Chief of Police and Maj. Gen. Richard Mills, Regional Command Southwest commander, presented graduation certificates.

    There are currently 118 ANA soldiers training at JSAS. The next graduation ceremony is scheduled for August. The next ANP graduation is set for September.
