Сотрудники Кении по налогам прошли обучение по анализу разведданных для борьбы с преступностью

NAIROBI, Kenya,Aug 15 — Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officers have received specialised intelligence training aimed at sharpening their ability to detect risks, identify emerging threats and turn complex data into actionable information for enforcement operations. The National Criminal Investigations Academy (NCIA) concluded an Intelligence Profiling and Analytics Course for KRA officers, equipping them with skills in intelligence profiling, analysis and interpretation to support operational and strategic decision-making. Speaking during the closing ceremony on behalf of the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), NCIA Commandant Ibrahim Jillo said the training would enable the officers to move beyond processing raw information and identify patterns that could inform enforcement decisions. “This course has sharpened your ability to see beyond raw data and identify what truly matters. I urge you to take these skills back to KRA and apply them with the same discipline you have shown here,” Jillo said. The training focused on practical skills to assess information, establish intelligence patterns and generate insights that can guide decision-making. The enhanced capacity could strengthen KRA’s ability to identify risks and emerging threats within its enforcement mandate, particularly as agencies increasingly rely on data and intelligence to anticipate criminal activity and improve compliance operations. Representing KRA, Erick Osenya said the course had strengthened officers’ ability to translate intelligence analysis into practical action. “You now have sharper tools to identify risk and stay ahead of emerging threats. I am confident that what you have gained here will be reflected in the quality of your work going forward,” Osenya said. The programme also highlighted growing collaboration between the country’s law enforcement and government institutions in the use of specialised intelligence capabilities. NCIA said the training forms part of its commitment to providing specialised, competency-based programmes to law enforcement agencies and government institutions. The academy said such programmes are intended to strengthen inter-agency collaboration and improve the ability of government institutions to detect, analyse and respond to emerging threats. The course comes amid increasing reliance on intelligence-led approaches in crime prevention and enforcement, with agencies seeking to use data analysis to identify patterns and risks before they escalate into more serious offences.
