Long standing weaknesses in Department of State's oversight of DynCorp contract for support of the Iraqi police training program

The Department of State (DoS) Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) contract with DynCorp International includes task orders to support the Department of Defense's (DoD) Iraqi police training program. Under the task orders, DynCorp has provided police advisors and in-country support for those and other advisors. INL's Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan Support Division is primarily responsible for oversight of the DynCorp contract. The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) examined INL's oversight of the task orders because they cost over $2.5 billion and INL has had a history of weak oversight of the task orders. Specifically, SIGIR examined: (1) the costs, funding, and award process for the largest and most recent task orders; (2) DoS oversight of the task orders; and (3) the status of INL's implementation of SIGIR's prior recommendations.
