00:10.240 --> 00:13.720
margin ? Yes you just briefly summarize

00:13.990 --> 00:15.050
what is um

00:23.740 --> 00:25.907
what's the goal of the police advisory

00:25.907 --> 00:28.830
game in margin basically we're here as

00:28.830 --> 00:30.997
mentors and advisers to the police and

00:30.997 --> 00:32.910
everything from logistics

00:32.920 --> 00:35.300
administration training operations .

00:35.310 --> 00:37.477
We're here to better help them out and

00:37.477 --> 00:39.588
all those all those aspects to better

00:39.588 --> 00:41.810
them so that they can learn how to work

00:41.810 --> 00:44.032
their logistic systems . They can learn

00:44.032 --> 00:46.088
all the ins and the outs of the jobs

00:46.088 --> 00:49.860
that we know how to do better and what .

00:50.240 --> 00:52.462
Uh huh . Like how do you achieve that ?

00:52.740 --> 00:55.030
What do you do to help them understand

00:55.030 --> 00:57.141
their logistic systems or things like

00:57.141 --> 00:59.740
that ? We have uh marines partner we

00:59.740 --> 01:01.851
have marines that work with them on a

01:01.851 --> 01:04.220
day to day basis and I don't wanna say

01:04.220 --> 01:06.442
oversee but go over and get involved in

01:06.442 --> 01:08.609
their when they're ordering supplies ,

01:08.840 --> 01:11.007
things like that so that we can ensure

01:11.007 --> 01:13.173
that they're filling out paperwork and

01:13.173 --> 01:15.173
we have marines everywhere from the

01:15.173 --> 01:17.118
precincts up here and then there's

01:17.118 --> 01:19.620
marines and it provincial there with

01:19.620 --> 01:22.430
division and we follow that paperwork

01:22.430 --> 01:24.541
trail the whole way up the same thing

01:24.541 --> 01:26.708
with pay . We go around and we kind of

01:26.708 --> 01:28.652
double check their rosters off the

01:28.652 --> 01:30.819
rosters we have and then with training

01:30.819 --> 01:32.986
we go and teaching classes and we were

01:32.986 --> 01:35.208
teaching classes that we know that they

01:35.208 --> 01:37.374
need and we also teaching classes that

01:37.374 --> 01:39.597
they're asking for which they need also

01:39.597 --> 01:41.763
what kind of classes do you teach them

01:41.763 --> 01:44.150
And um we a lot of I . E . D . Duck

01:44.150 --> 01:46.790
training for how to use the metal

01:46.790 --> 01:50.250
detectors . I need awareness . We do

01:50.740 --> 01:54.670
legal checkpoints . Um And

01:54.680 --> 01:56.680
we've lately we've been focusing on

01:56.680 --> 01:59.000
crime scene how to how to approach a

01:59.000 --> 02:01.740
crime scene . What kind of evidence is

02:01.740 --> 02:04.890
important and how to the basics of

02:04.890 --> 02:06.890
processing that crime scene so that

02:06.890 --> 02:09.112
they don't contaminate evidence and and

02:09.112 --> 02:11.223
ruin things that might help prosecute

02:11.340 --> 02:13.780
somebody later . Why is it important to

02:13.790 --> 02:17.350
teach them things like that ? Because I

02:17.350 --> 02:19.461
mean the police they need to know how

02:19.461 --> 02:21.683
to do those kind of things so that they

02:21.683 --> 02:23.906
can respond and they can help the local

02:23.906 --> 02:26.183
people . They can help their community .

02:26.183 --> 02:28.350
So when when you have an incident they

02:28.350 --> 02:30.517
can go out there they can process that

02:30.517 --> 02:32.572
crime scene and hopefully eventually

02:32.572 --> 02:34.628
find whoever is guilty and they have

02:34.628 --> 02:36.961
the evidence to be able to lock them up .

02:36.961 --> 02:39.260
Our elm the operation that took place

02:39.260 --> 02:42.810
yesterday today . Uh What was going on

02:42.810 --> 02:45.230
with that ? It was a clearing operation .

02:45.240 --> 02:48.610
It was all an set forces that's A U . P .

02:48.680 --> 02:51.740
L . P . And cop and a . And a . So you

02:51.740 --> 02:53.851
call the police and the army involved

02:53.851 --> 02:56.150
and they were just clearing through the

02:56.150 --> 02:59.170
villages searching searching known

02:59.180 --> 03:01.910
known areas of interest that that they

03:01.910 --> 03:04.960
knew were historically or that they had

03:04.960 --> 03:06.960
local tips . Whatever they whatever

03:06.960 --> 03:09.127
kind of information they had searching

03:09.127 --> 03:11.127
compounds and talking to the people

03:11.127 --> 03:12.960
trying to find evidence and find

03:12.960 --> 03:15.160
weapons caches and get whatever

03:15.160 --> 03:17.271
information they could off the people

03:17.271 --> 03:19.493
it's uh Sistani was unknown area . It's

03:19.493 --> 03:22.050
just it's one of the worst areas . So

03:22.060 --> 03:24.171
they picked that and it was an answer

03:24.171 --> 03:26.171
fled operation as marines . We were

03:26.171 --> 03:28.171
just out there helping them kind of

03:28.171 --> 03:30.282
giving them a little bit support some

03:30.282 --> 03:32.338
of the assets that we have and along

03:32.338 --> 03:34.504
the way just giving them the advice as

03:34.504 --> 03:36.727
they're doing things . And what did the

03:36.727 --> 03:38.838
marines do in the past two days . And

03:38.838 --> 03:40.616
during the operation during the

03:40.616 --> 03:43.310
operation we on the first day there was

03:43.310 --> 03:46.220
marines partnered with the national

03:46.220 --> 03:48.860
Army and they will roll along with them

03:48.860 --> 03:52.070
as they cleared through and myself and

03:52.080 --> 03:55.730
the rest of the PMT we held a

03:55.730 --> 03:58.930
Corrida making sure that as the army

03:58.930 --> 04:01.152
swept that nobody could escape . And we

04:01.152 --> 04:03.210
held that cordon along with the help

04:03.380 --> 04:06.690
and an cop and then today we

04:07.340 --> 04:09.590
we're with you with the police as we

04:09.590 --> 04:12.080
set through Sistani and that's just a

04:12.090 --> 04:14.312
more populated area and the police went

04:14.312 --> 04:16.534
through and search the compounds and we

04:16.534 --> 04:18.479
provided monaural support and just

04:18.479 --> 04:21.210
advise them as we went . Um What's the

04:21.210 --> 04:23.321
role of the marines like for instance

04:23.321 --> 04:25.860
when uh they'll be find an idea or

04:25.860 --> 04:28.082
something like that uh what the marines

04:28.082 --> 04:30.249
do to help them with those situation .

04:30.249 --> 04:32.416
Um We've trained them and what we want

04:32.416 --> 04:34.582
them what we ask them to do is to hold

04:34.582 --> 04:36.804
security they find it they set up their

04:36.804 --> 04:38.916
security and they call it up and they

04:38.916 --> 04:41.082
call it up on their end . So they call

04:41.082 --> 04:43.027
it to the zero cc . D . And that's

04:43.027 --> 04:45.249
their version of our operation center .

04:45.249 --> 04:47.416
They call it in there and then they're

04:47.416 --> 04:49.582
OECD will let our operation center and

04:49.582 --> 04:51.693
they pass it on the marines and we'll

04:51.693 --> 04:53.749
take you d out and meet up with them

04:53.749 --> 04:56.250
and our our explosive texel actually

04:56.250 --> 04:58.760
handle the media itself . But

05:00.340 --> 05:03.190
they they're working the communication

05:03.190 --> 05:05.523
and liaison and everything on their end .

05:05.523 --> 05:07.840
So uh would you say you've seen an

05:07.840 --> 05:10.230
improvement with the police since you

05:10.230 --> 05:12.770
first got here ? Yes .

05:14.440 --> 05:16.662
And like in what way have you seen them

05:16.662 --> 05:17.060
a room

05:20.840 --> 05:23.062
operationally ? There's a lot of things

05:23.062 --> 05:24.896
just the simple things as far as

05:24.896 --> 05:26.710
getting them to pass their own

05:26.710 --> 05:28.654
communication up , getting them to

05:28.654 --> 05:30.766
relay the information and not relying

05:30.766 --> 05:32.988
on the marines as much big difference .

05:32.988 --> 05:35.210
When I first got here it was they would

05:35.210 --> 05:37.377
go to the nearest marine post and tell

05:37.377 --> 05:39.543
the marines and try to get the marines

05:39.543 --> 05:41.654
to call to get you know whether it be

05:41.654 --> 05:43.940
the detects out there or just a quick

05:43.940 --> 05:45.829
reaction force you know help with

05:45.829 --> 05:47.662
whatever they needed . Now we're

05:47.662 --> 05:49.884
getting constantly getting reports from

05:49.884 --> 05:52.051
their operation center letting us know

05:52.051 --> 05:54.051
what's going on on their end rather

05:54.051 --> 05:55.940
than them coming straight to us .

05:55.940 --> 05:57.996
They're passing it up their chain of

05:57.996 --> 05:56.550
command
