security officer Henri Fournel said the capacity for criminal intelligence is
under-developed.
“We will assist field officers during investigations
through an intelligence-led and guided programme,” he said.
Fournel said under the project called Wisdom, the capacity of officers will be built to help get
intelligence for decision making.
He said the two-year project set to be rolled out in East Africa will encourage
communication, cooperation and collaboration on intelligence
exchange, cross-border investigations and training.
Fournel made the remarks at Laico Hotel during a
meeting on fighting wildlife crime.
