    Sgt. Brian D. Mocha, a U.S. Marine and military policeman, uses a military working dog to screen bags for bombs or bomb-making material at an Iraqi police recruiting drive June 26, 2006, in Qa'im, Iraq. More than 300 local Iraqis from Euphrates River towns near the Iraqi-Syrian border lined up at the Marines outpost in hopes of becoming policemen in one of Iraq's newest police districts. Despite several attacks on the police force in the nearby city of Husaybah, a border city of about 50,000 people, Maj. Robert C. Marshall, the military transition team officer-in-charge says the Iraqis are willing to serve because a cop's monthly salary is a lot of money for the average Iraqi - around $100 a month. The push for a police force in the region near the border came after months of urging from the local tribal sheikhs who are eager to see a police force restored with men from their tribes, according to the local police transition team - a group of U.S service members who train, mentor and develop local police forces. The transition team is working on equipping the one of the region's newest police forces - in Karabilah, a city of about 30,000 citizens - with weapons, flak vests, uniforms and furniture so that the Iraqis can live and work out of their police station.
