LAGHMAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan, Oct. 10, 2007 — The Nuristan Police Mentor Team and soldiers of the 66th Military Police Company traveled south to Laghman Province and met with the local chief of police at the Alingar Police Station, Oct. 2, to discuss training and other issues in the area.

The frequent assessments cover many things including training, equipment and personnel management; all to make sure the police stations are up to capacity and able to perform their mission.

"These assessments make the police much more able and willing to work with us," said Army Maj. Justin Bogue, of New Castle, Wyoming, team leader of the Nuristan Police Mentor Team.

Although all of the appropriate training for these police officers is not always available due to lack of people and time, Bogue and his team do whatever is necessary to keep these local officers on their feet and ready at all times.

"We try to train these officers on anything from community policing to force protection and give them the practical exercises needed to be good policemen," said Bogue.
