The course addressed the rapidly evolving nature of trafficking crimes and how criminal networks increasingly exploit technology, electronic tools, and digital platforms to carry out illegal operations across borders.
Colonel Saeed Al Sabousi inaugurated the programme on behalf of Colonel Saeed Al Heli, Director of the Human Trafficking Crimes Monitoring Centre. During the opening session, Col. Al Sabousi stressed the importance of continuously equipping investigators with the latest knowledge and specialised techniques to strengthen prevention measures and improve the handling of complex trafficking cases.
