Cook Islands Immigration were invited to participate in an investigations workshop hosted by Te Mana Arai, Cook Islands Customs in collaboration with New Zealand Customs. The workshop provided an opportunity for law enforcement agency collaboration, with Customs, Immigration and Police in attendance.
The Tactical Applied Investigations (TAI) workshop offered guidance and hands-on approach delivering invaluable investigative tools, enhanced knowledge and strengthened practical application. The course content was delivered through group exercises, scenario based learning and practical simulations focused on improving frontline response and decision-making.
It was an opportunity for senior level law enforcement officers to participate in training conducted by an experienced New Zealand Customs investigator and learn through practical scenario exercises and New Zealand case studies.
“It was a privilege to participate in this training learning from a facilitator who demonstrated her experience through case studies. The content was practical and relevant to our Cook Islands environment and the region when thinking about disrupting transnational organised crime.” said Immigration Operations Manager Phillip Metuariki.
