CRS Report for Congress
Iraqi Police and Security Forces
Casualties Estimates
Hannah Fischer
Information Research Specialist
Knowledge Services Group
Summary
This report presents various governmental and non-governmental estimates of Iraqi
police and security forces fatalities. The Department of Defense (DOD) regularly
updates total U.S. military deaths and wounded statistics from Operation Iraqi Freedom
(OIF), as reflected in CRS Report RS21578, Iraq: U.S. Casualties, and has released the
monthly pattern of Iraqi security forces deaths. For information on Iraqi civilian deaths,
see CRS Report RS22537, Iraqi Civilian Deaths Estimates. Because these estimates are
based on varying time periods and have been created using differing methodologies,
readers should exercise caution when using them and should look on them as guideposts
rather than as statements of fact. This report will be updated as needed.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has recently released a chart (see Figure 1)
showing Iraqi Security Forces deaths over time; it has not released the specific numbers
associated with the chart, and there have been conflicting reports of deaths from news
sources and non-profits. Bearing this caveat, Table 1, below, provides Iraqi security
forces and police officers casualty estimates from non-governmental sources. These
estimates are based on varying time periods and have been created using differing
methodologies, and therefore readers should exercise caution when using these statistics.
