On April 16, the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs presented the Nangarhar Chief Prosecutor and a representative of the Nangarhar Police Department with $52,000 worth of equipment to help the criminal investigation police and prosecutors be more responsive to alleged criminal conduct. The ceremony followed the conclusion of in-depth training conducted by INL’s Justice Security Sector Support Program (JSSP), an effort to strengthen the capacity of the Afghanistan criminal justice sector institutions and the justice professionals working in these institutions. The equipment, which included motorcycles, bicycles, helmets, copy machines, digital video cameras, microcassette voice recorders, lockers and filing cabinets, will also help them reinforce the investigative techniques they learned at the JSSP training by improving their capacity to keep and maintain evidence and records.
