Buried within the guts of a very good New York Times storyabout problems with the Afghan security forces is word of this effort at rooting out police corruption:
“„The United States is also retraining uniformed police units in a process called Focused District Development. Under this program, police units in districts are mentored intensely through phases, including being replaced by an interim unit for several weeks while they undergo refresher training and have their equipment inventoried, examined and, as necessary, replaced.
“„The program implicitly acknowledges problems. General Ierardi said it was essential because it provided a chance to “refresh the screen.” To date, 65 of the country’s 365 districts and 12 companies have enrolled in the program. The Pentagon plans to expand the training.
What guarantees that the interimunit isn’t corrupt, though? The piece doesn’t say and I don’t know.
