First Iraqi Females Graduate from Elite Police Corp

50 women recently graduated from Iraq's most prestigious police academy for the first time in history. The women studied and were trained in separate quarters from the men, under the surveillance of American colonels.

“Everyone says men are able to do everything, but that’s not true,” Leiutenant Hameed, one of the graduates, said. “In investigations, especially with women, women use their compassion with victims to get them to answer questions clearly.”

The Police Academy hopes to have double the amount of female graduates next year.
