Anti-Smuggling Working Focused On Nuclear Security

THE International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) in collaboration with the Royal Bahamas Police Force held an opening ceremony yesterday at the Melia Nassau Beach Hotel for an anti-smuggling workshop.

#The aim of this three-day workshop is to focus on nuclear security and to protect Bahamian borders.

#Emrick Seymour, Acting Commissioner of Police, said: “This morning we have assembled 33 participants from the country’s national security agencies of public and private sectors partners whom we are assured are acutely aware of the significance of this essential and timely work shop.

#“I submit to you that no country is safe or exempted from the ravages of terrorism in any capacity; no country. Not with standing archipelagic porous borders…we are wide open to any and every possibility. We are still grateful and thankful for the peace and safety we currently enjoy. Many countries around the world cannot boast this or are not as fortunate.

#“(As) terrorism becomes more intricate and technical it beholds each country to take strategic, preventative and corrective measures to remain several steps ahead of the terroristic advances. This Counter Nuclear Smuggling Workshop will allow us in The Bahamas to do just that.”
