Lance Cpl. Matthew D. Nasso, a rifleman with Company A, walks alongside an Iraqi policemen during a dismounted joint patrol through the Ramadi neighborhood of Ramadi, April 24. With the positive changes in the Ta'meem area and along with the drastic steps the Ta'meem Iraqi police officers have taken, the station is preparing for the next step. "Our push now, is to make it more police oriented," said 2nd Lt. Derek Herrera, the platoon commander. "Instead of having ten policemen walk down the street, now we're trying to make it about only two. That way they can just sit on the corner, talk to the people, and walk the beat around the same block all day. We're not quite there yet, but that's the next push."
