Fatshimetrie, November 7, 2024 (FDJ).- The field of justice and public security is constantly evolving, and it is essential that law enforcement remains at the forefront of technological and methodological advances to effectively combat crime. It is with this in mind that twenty judicial police officers, with general competence, began a three-day training course on criminal analysis and the collection of scientific evidence in Bukavu, the capital of the province of South Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Criminal analysis, within the judicial police, is of capital importance. Indeed, it allows for a better understanding of the behavior of criminals, to identify links between different cases and to target potential suspects more effectively. Félix Kabamba, one of the trainers of the national police, who came specially from Kinshasa for this workshop, stressed the importance of strengthening the professionalism of judicial police officers through this training. According to him, criminal analysis is an essential tool for the criminal police and it is essential that field officers master its concepts and methods.
During this training session, participants will be required to put into practice the theories taught in order to improve their work in the field. It is essential that the knowledge acquired during these three days of workshops is translated concretely into investigation procedures and contributes to improving the resolution of criminal cases. The exchanges and interactions between the trainers and the officers present are unique opportunities to share good practices and strengthen each other’s skills in the fight against crime.
This workshop, which takes place at the premises of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bukavu, is part of a process of professionalization and modernization of working methods within the police force. The end of this training is scheduled for next Saturday, and there is no doubt that the judicial police officers will emerge from these three days enriched with new skills and ready to put their knowledge into practice to ensure security and justice within their community.
