Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commends EFCC

A lead Investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Norm Leger has commended the professional achievements and conduct of men and officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

 

“My impression of EFCC can be summed in just three words; very professional, high integrity and very competent. I have been very impressed to be honest”, Leger said, as he rounded off a two-week course on “Tactical Intelligence Analyses” organized for investigators and analysts drawn from the EFCC, Nigeria Police and Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement agency by Royal Canadian Mounted Police, EFCC and other stakeholders at the EFCC Academy, Abuja.

He said, “a lot of time, we have failed to recognize that EFCC is a very junior organizations compared to other law enforcement agencies in the world, but the level at which it conducts its investigations and exhibits professionalism is incredible.”

 

Leger said the course among other things would help in fine tuning the knowledge and depth of Nigerian law enforcement officers, set a perspective that will lead to intelligence that will help investigation and assist in identifying and focusing on priority, trends and relationships.

Earlier, in his closing remark, Femi Gbarufu representing the Commandant of the academy, Ayo Olowonihi stressed the importance of participants putting whatever they have learnt into practice in their various places of work.

“I wish on behalf of the Commandant and indeed the Chairman of EFCC, to thank first of all the resource persons and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for facilitating this course which to me, is very critical in the work we do as law enforcement agencies.”

In their respective remarks, Brittany McBain, and Jeff Thomson, both criminal intelligence analysts from RCMP, said they have learnt a lot from their experiences at the course even as resource persons.

Highlights of the event were the presentation of the Royal Canadian Mountain Police Plaque to the three organizations in attendance and certificates to participants by Mr. Gbarufu.
