On Wednesday, May 5, 2022, six Kenyan police officers were awarded certificates by the International Legal Enforcement Agency (ILEA) after successfully completing a Forensic/Sex Crimes Investigations Course.
The National Police Service (NPS) said the certificates were presented to the graduands by David Ryan Williams, a Special Agent at the US Embassy – Kenya, in a brief ceremony held at the Kenya Police Service Headquarters Vigilance House.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Edward Mbugua, presided over the event and thanked the US Embassy delegation and ILEA for their partnership, which he said would play a critical role in addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) concerns in the country.
Special Agent Williams commended the graduands for their cooperation, eagerness to learn, and passion for policing, and conveyed the US Embassy's willingness to partner with the National Police Service Campuses in areas of mutual interest.
The US Embassy delegation was led by Kevan Higgins, the Embassy's Director Bureau of Narcotics and Law Enforcement.
