Fifty officers drawn from combined units within the Directorate of Criminal Investigations today began an advanced basic investigations refresher course at the DCI Academy in Nairobi to keep tabs with ever evolving crime trends in the country and beyond.
While presiding over the official opening of the Basic Crime Investigation Course, Deputy DCI Joseph Ashimala said the training is aimed at sharpening the officers’ investigative skills while employing proactive and professional approaches in handling crime.
The training which brings together a team of 50 officers drawn from the Directorate’sunits devolved countrywide is scheduled run for two months.
“It is further programmed to enhance teamwork and exchange of experiences among the participants.” Ashimala said.
The Deputy DCI boss reminded the course participants that rising above the challenges law enforcement officers operate under must be actualized against all odds.
“Some die-hard criminals run to courts with personal bonds to stand in the way of justice.The wisdom to handle such and many other cases can only come from God. Do not downplay the role of God, our Higher Power,” he said.
Ashimala was received by senior officers among them the DCI Academy Commandant Paul Ndambuki.
