It is well recognised that economic development is closely related to the level of safety in the country. And the law enforcement authority namely the ZRP is expected to play a central role in ensuring the safety of the country… The new equipment to be provided, which includes digital forensic tools, face recognition systems, an information system and an information sharing platform, will contribute towards upgrading the capacity of the ZRP and will promote inter-regional cooperation of the responsible bodies under the sponsorship of Interpol.
