Recently, the DCI has been working closely with the INTERPOL to counter car theft syndicates that hid stolen luxury vehicles from London.
Through corporations with the Interpol, DCI has managed to intercept high end cars at the Port of Mombasa.
In March 2019, some four million checks were carried out against INTERPOL databases, resulting in more than 800 positive hits. These included individuals wanted for terrorism, genocide, fraud and trafficking.
Following the terrorist attack in Nairobi in January 2019, at the request of Kenyan authorities, INTERPOL deployed a team within 24 hours to assist with disaster victim identification, criminal intelligence analysis, digital forensics and weapons and explosives expertise.
Data was exploited and investigative leads were established, stretching well beyond the borders of Kenya.
