DynCorp International Continues Police Training in Iraq
FALLS CHURCH, Va. – June 23, 2008 – The U.S. Department of State has awarded DynCorp International (NYSE:DCP) a task order for the Iraq Civilian Advisor Support (ICAS) under the International Civilian Police (CIVPOL) contract.

DynCorp International won the re-compete of the overall Civilian Advisor Support work in Iraq that was awarded in 2004. The new task order has a value of $545.7 million over a performance period of 22 months.

DynCorp International will recruit more than 800 civilian police advisors to help advise, train and mentor the Iraqi Police Service, Ministry of Interior, and Department of Border Enforcement. These police mentors will be assigned to the Civilian Police Advisory Training Team (CPATT), the component of the U.S. military Multinational Security Transition Command responsible for the U.S.-led effort to train and equip the Iraq police service, and will work with the military police teams under the command of Multi-National Corps-Iraq (MNC-I). DynCorp International will provide support services for the civilian police advisors it provides and for the judicial and corrections advisors provided by another contractor. These services include life and mission support, security services, and IT and communication services.

DynCorp International has been a major part of the CIVPOL mission in Iraq since 2003, and is also working under the CIVPOL contract to strengthen law enforcement institutions and activities in Haiti, Sudan, Liberia, and Afghanistan, and for the Palestinian Authority.
