This was revealed at the closing ceremony of a 7-week training course to pass out the participants in the training program held at the Detectives Training Academy in Accra.
The program was addressed by officials from the CID including CID Boss DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah who was also a facilitator of the training and the Commandant of the Detective Training Academy, Superintendent Benjamin Affisah.
They both commended MTN, Interpol and STAAC for sponsoring a section of the training centred on Mobile money fraud. Participants were commended for their commitment to the course.
DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah said the “advancement in communication and technology, the openness of both physical and virtual borders, cyber-finances and offshore banking have promoted transnational organizes crime” for which reason it was necessary to continue to upgrade the skills of the officers whose duty it is to fight the crimes.
Supt. Affisah expressed hope that participants will put training to good use in their work, thanking in particular, the CID administration for making it possible.
He said some of the areas they horned the officers’ skills in include criminal procedure, criminal law, crime scene management, customer care, intelligence gathering, anti-human trafficking, child-friendly policing, informant management among others. He said they also undertook training in mobile money fraud and financial crime investigation.
