SOUTHWEST ASIA - An Asayish Law Enforcement Training Academy certifies the first 145 correctional force members during a graduation ceremony, Jan. 3, 2023, near Qamishli, Syria.
Coalition Forces instructed the 15-day correctional tactics and training program that began Dec. 15, 2022.
“Asayish partners and Detention Capabilities Assessment Teams conducted law enforcement fundamentals courses to equip correctional-force members with skills needed to secure Syria and the region against ISIS,” said U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Stark, the non-commissioned officer in charge of DCAT. “Correctional force training focuses on scenarios such as use of force levels, cell extraction, and internal escort procedures.”
The Asayish training academy provides an additional two and half months of instruction to focus on security, address gender-based violence, and other political and military instruction. Syrian Democratic Forces will continue to develop Asayish correctional force members with the next class beginning mid-January.
Correctional force graduates help deny ISIS recruitment efforts and maintain order in detention centers across northeast Syria.
