UK forces carry out directed strike operations against known corrupt persons and militia members in the Iraqi police service (IPS). In addition, they work to ensure that the security situation and force protection is sufficient to enable around 50 civilian and contracted specialists to provide training and mentoring to the IPS. The Royal Military Police also provides some additional training and monitoring.
