Indonesia would be the first country in the world to introduce a computer-based training program to help police and authorities tackle human trafficking and to increase intelligence around this issue, local press said Thursday.
The training program included methods to counter money laundering and drug trafficking, basic and advanced knowledge on intelligence, restriction and search techniques at airports, seaports and land transportation, reported English daily The Jakarta Post.
It was provided by the Jakarta Center for Law Enforcement Cooperation (JCLEC) along with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
The program would consist of 76 modules in both English and Indonesian.
UNODC representative for East Asia and the Pacific, Akira Fujino said at the Wednesday's program launch at JCLEC headquarters in Semarang, Central Java, the UNODC provided 8 million US dollars for the training programs.
Fujino said the interactive learning modules would be used to help police deal with human trafficking and other transnational crimes affecting Indonesia and its Asian neighbors.
Fujino said he was hopeful the program could improve the capacity of Indonesian intelligence personnel and enable them to cooperate with foreign intelligence personnel in handling transnational crimes.
