The Cambodian branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States recently started training some 50 Cambodian police and military officers to fight against terrorism, official sources said here on Tuesday.
Approximately 50 high-ranking police and military officers are participating in the training which focused on "case management," said Jeff A. Daigle, spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia.
The training is actually focused on the skills critical to organization and management of major investigation, decision making, communication technique and application of theories to crises and major cases, he said.
The participants are learning about three topics: Evidence Recovery, Trends in Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Task Force Concepts, he added.
The goal of the workshop is to help the Cambodian authority use recommended methods for gathering, controlling, and disseminating high volumes of case information in a way to assist with the successful resolution of major cases, he said.
Cambodia could serve as a model in the region in terms of denying terrorists safe haven, prosecuting terrorists who are caught, and developing effective anti-terror institutions, he said, adding that Cambodia's cooperation with the U.S. on counter- terrorism is exceptional.
Meanwhile, Sok Phal, Cambodia's deputy national police commander said that the week-long training will help Cambodian officers prevent terrorism and deal with it if terrorism cases happen.
"In case it eventually occurs, we will have protection in place and it is for our national defense interests," he added.
