The Jericho security academy contains trainers from Britain and Jordan. The United States oversees operations of the facility.

Officials said the academy was planning a series of courses. They included basic training, advanced skills in assault, law enforcement and investigation.

The graduation took place on the eve of an international conference in Berlin to finance PA security. Officials expect the PA to receive at least $187 million in pledges on Tuesday at the end of the one-day conference, expected to attract 40 states.
