I had my friend in Iraq translate you patch and it is a Kurdish Arm Patch.
The Kurdish writing must be a different Arabic as he had a harder time to translate it but this is what
he came up with.
Translation above: the Emergency Police
Left: not sure, mostly - Loyalty to Iraq (in Kurdish)
Right: Kirkuk Police (in Kurdish)
Not 100% positive on the ESU but think it is for Emergency Support Unit (my thoughts).

After a google search on Kirkuk Emergency Support Unit I found a picture on militaryphotos.net of this patch worn by an Iraqi army Emergency Services Unit soldier. Thanks for the help, Bob.
