What type of info are you looking for. As far as I knew there were no "psd" slots in the civpol program. There are a few select details who are not doing the training thing, but no actual protective gigs. You are either civpol or WPPS. They are two seperate animals.

badandy,

Rgr your last. the goods I recieved from the recruiter stated that it was a PSD slot supporting the DOS CIVPOL Advisory Support Mission. I don't want to go into too much more detail than that. Any info appreciated.

A friend of mine just got the same infor from them the day before yesterday. He reads this forum, he may respond later

[PanaVet]

Yes there are a select few in CIVPOL that get PSD coverage. It's not WPPS type but, it's similar. At least that's the way it is here in Afghanistan.

[Recon by Fire]

Yes, the same company just offered me the same thing in Afghanistan also. Any info you guys have on DC in Afghanistan would be appreciated.

CIVPOL does have PSD Teams assigned to it. Its not WPPS. There are also a small number of PSD Teams made up of qualified police advisors.

Civpol mission/IPLO's, that have appropriate backgrounds, staff several movement teams. They do not do the IPLO mission work, but are IPLO's themselves. There is another side of the CIVPOL contract, staffing PSD teams. Personnel are former IPLO's with appropriate backgrounds, experience and training, and others are former military, etc..

PM me for further if you need additional.

Former San Jose (California) Police Chief to Head Police Training in Iraq
Irving, TX — November 22, 2005 — Louis Cobarruviaz, former chief of police in San Jose, California from 1991 to 1998, has been appointed commander of the U.S. contingent of police advisors assigned to the Civilian Police Advisory Training Team (CPATT), the component of the U.S. military Multinational Security Transition Command – Iraq (MNSTC-I) responsible for the U.S.-led effort to train and equip the 135,000-member Iraqi police service.

Mr. Cobaruvviaz will work for DynCorp International, which recruits, trains, equips and supports the 500-member U.S. contingent through a contract with the U.S. Department of State. As contingent commander, Cobarruviaz will be the senior member of the U.S. contingent in Iraq.

Mr. Cobarruviaz’s career in law enforcement spans 33 years and includes extensive experience developing modern police institutions in emerging democracies. He led the U.S. Department of Justice program to train and equip El Salvador’s 18,000-member National Police of 1998-2004. During his tenure, serious crime in the country decreased by 40 percent, and the government of El Salvador awarded him the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Order of José Matías Delgado.

Mr. Cobarruviaz is a native of Fremont, California, and served in the U.S. Army with the 101st Airborne battalion. He holds a bachelor’s degree from San Jose State University and is completing his master’s degree in criminal justice from Boston University. He also attended the University of California, Berkeley.

Stay safe.
