Over 3,000 Kenyan police recruits are being trained in INTERPOL policing skills to enhance investigations involving cross-border crimes. The recruits at the National Police College in Kiganjo have concluded a two-day sensitisation programme on INTERPOL capabilities, which includes access to international police databases, Notices and Diffusions, and understanding how international cooperation aids transnational crime investigations.
The training, supported by Project Soteria–INTERPOL, aims to introduce officers to these tools early in their careers, ensuring the knowledge can be passed on to future law enforcement personnel. By equipping police with this understanding, Kenya seeks to strengthen cooperation with international police authorities and improve its ability to combat cross-border crimes.
The program seeks to integrate international policing into Kenya's security system, making it more effective in addressing evolving security threats and building stronger links with global law enforcement networks.
