Over 15 officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have undergone a four-week training in the USA to fight drugs. The course ‘Basic Narcotics Investigations’ was facilitated by the United States Drugs Enforcement Agency (DEA) and took place at their academy in Quantico, Virginia. The DEA was lauded as an integral partner in building skills, developing professionals and collaborating internationally in the fight against drugs. The training for the SIU officers comes at a time when Kenya has scored wins in the fight against trafficking. Data from DCI shows that between January and November 2025 detectives seized drugs worth Sh9 billion.
