DCI Officers Undergo Training On Crime Intelligence Analysis
Director of Public Complaints at DCI headquarters, Bernard Nyakwaka, underscored the critical role of analytical thinking and applied research skills in combating crime in the country.
Speaking at the official opening of the third cohort of the Operational Intelligence Analysis course at the National Criminal Investigations Academy (NCIA), Nyakwaka emphasized that the competencies are essential in enhancing participants’ ability to produce and present actionable intelligence reports.
“Such skills are crucial for fostering a safer and more secure society,” Nyakwaka added.
The two-week course brings together crime research experts from various regions across the country.
Designed to equip the detectives with advanced techniques in crime intelligence analysis, the program aims to empower them to dismantle complex criminal networks more effectively.
This initiative aligns with the DCI’s broader objective of maintaining a competitive edge in the ever-evolving field of criminal investigations.
Nyakwaka further expressed his gratitude to the Canadian Mounted Police Attaché’s office in Kenya and the International Justice Mission (IJM) for their support in facilitating the advanced training program.
The event was graced by several distinguished guests, including Sospeter Munyi, the Commandant of NCIA; Dennis Okadapao, the Director of Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau; and Naomi Maina, representing IJM and other senior DCI officers.
In November 2024, detectives from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Seychelles participated in a week-long Regional Cybercrime Investigation Training at NCIA.
The training, sponsored by the German Federal Foreign Office, GIZ, and Germany’s BKA, focused on combating online Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).
DCI Chief Mohamed Amin hailed the training as pivotal in defending online SGBV victims, emphasizing that investigators must actively uphold justice and prevent digital victimization.
He urged the attendees to utilize their newly acquired expertise to protect vulnerable communities.
Dignitaries present included Munyi, German Embassy Regional Police Liaison Officer Jan Prayon, GIZ Representative Jaenen Ulrich, and DCI Director of Liaison and Corporate Communications John Marete.
