The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has developed a new training program aimed at helping its officers better protect the country’s critical infrastructure. By critical infrastructure, one means things like the country’s electricity grid, transport systems, and even communication systems.
This training program is a joint venture between the DCI and the Office of Antiterrorism Assistance (ATA). The training involves 24 officers from various specialized units of the DCI and the General Service Unit (GSU).
During the launch of the training program, through the Director of Complaints Bernard Nyakwakwa, the Director of the DCI Mohammed I. Amin stated that while protecting critical infrastructure in the country is not just the responsibility of security organizations, it is one that affects every Kenyan.
He encouraged the officers to always keep an open mind and learn as much as they can from the training. He stated that the security of the country’s critical infrastructure directly affects the lives of citizens.
The training comes at a time when the country is trying to improve security systems to counter various security threats both at home and abroad.
