The police and the Immigration Department are boosting information sharing to tackle chronic problems of human trafficking, the outflow of Maldivians Jihadists and document forgery.
Speaking at the inauguration of the ‘Knowledge Sharing Forum’ on Monday, Commissioner of Police Hussain Waheed said lack of information has hindered operations. He also highlighted a reluctance to share information with the police intelligence directorate.
“The intelligence service is perceived as a threatening department. It is difficult to share collected information [with the intelligence department]. In certain cases this has been a setback in executing some of our operations,” he said.
Information is key to fighting terror and human trafficking, he said.
