Five members of the Directorate for Coordination of Police Bodies of BiH stayed at the Military academy of the Arab Republic of Egypt from 22nd September to 3rd November 2022. There, they attended the training course "Protection of the state borders" that was organized by the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development in Cairo. The aim of the training course was the transfer of knowledge from the area of border protection, preventing the smuggling of goods, migrants, weapons, and illicit drugs.
The lecturers from the Armed Forces of Egypt in cooperation with the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development shared experiences and ways of working in the protection and security of state borders in several thematic workshops.
In addition to the theoretical part, the members of the Directorate had the opportunity to visit the Egyptian national border and the Suez Canal, where the practical part of the lecture was held through demonstration exercises.
The members of the Directorate successfully completed the training and gathered the additional knowledge and skills which will be useful to them in carrying out jobs and tasks within the responsibility of the Directorate.
This type of training
is of great importance for the police officers from both countries, in
particular from the point of view of exchange of experiences and best
practices.
