The United States of America has disclosed that special teams have engaged in an intensive four-month training with Kenyan law enforcement officers and other stakeholders to prevent and respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) threats.
The United States Embassy in Nairobi on Tuesday, September 30, said that during the training, U.S. and Kenyan law enforcement officers trained on identifying secret places where chemical, biological, or explosive materials might be manufactured or weaponised.
Prosecutors, investigators, and judges in the country were trained on how to handle CBRNE prosecutions and investigations by the U.S. special teams.
“Participants learned how to collect evidence, test hazardous materials, and employ practical strategies to prevent threats from harming the public. In September, the focus shifted from the lab to the courtroom,” the embassy stated.
“A follow-on workshop on CBRNE prosecutions and investigations brought together prosecutors, investigators, and judges to connect strong science with strong justice. Participants examined how evidence from CBRNE investigations can support prosecutions and how Kenyan investigators and prosecutors can work with international partners on cross-border cases,” it added.
