This means more police in the cities and fewer military units. The Mission's most important partner - the Iraqi Ministry of Interior - is one of the leading ministries of this transition.

Whether human rights-based policing, crisis management or command and control, EUAM Iraq advises and assists the Ministry at all levels, including its operational units such as the Karkh Police Command in Baghdad.

The goal is an effective police force that serves the population and contributes to a safer Iraq.
