Specialized police training work in Iraq commended by Department of Defense

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 20, 2006 - Georges Jaoudeh, who works as a Protection and Training Liaison Officer in Iraq for USIS's Professional Services Division (USIS-PSD), has been awarded the Joint Civilian Service Commendation Award. Jaoudeh is part of the PSD team in Iraq that supports the U.S. government's highly specialized national-level police training.

Jaoudeh was commended for his many accomplishments over a 14-month period in Iraq that included his superior leadership in recruiting Iraqi officer and sergeant candidates for specialized police training at the National Training Academy in Baghdad.

USIS PSD was awarded a re-compete contract to provide this specialized police training in Iraq earlier this year, and has run this program for the U.S. government since May 2004.
