The training began on Monday in a Jordanian police facility near Amman. The Jordanian project was meant to last for two years.

Jordanian officials said the first batch to undergo training consists of 500 Iraqi cadets. The cadets arrived over the weekend and will spend at least eight weeks in the training course.
