Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Mohamed Amin is in Glasgow, Scotland for the 92nd INTERPOL General Assembly.

In a statement, DCI said Amin led the Kenyan delegation to the event that kicked off on Monday, November 4, and will end on Thursday, November 7.

"Today's General Assembly was opened by the UK Prime Minister Hon. Keir Starmer who called for law enforcement cooperation in the fight against Transnational Organized Crimes and thanked law enforcement officers for their dedication to work. He noted that too often, the work of police officers goes unrecognised," DCI said.

The investigating agency said INTERPOL works with similar organizations including the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL) which is headed by Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.

"In a bid to create a safer world for all, INTERPOL collaborates and cooperates with similar organizations, including the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL) in the fight against Transnational Organized Crimes, terrorism and cybercrime," DCI said.

Additionally, DCI noted that Amin held bilateral meetings with delegations from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States.
