What Others Say

From participants in a series of four trainings and seminars on counterterrorism cooperation in East Africa.

“Recently I applied one of the many [techniques] we learned and I made a breakthrough on a suspect. We are also extending what we acquired from Kampala to our workmates. I look forward to further my skills on interrogations with your organization.” 

“I am very grateful for the seminar. It gave me a completely new paradigm as far as interrogation in counter-terrorism context is concerned. I must add that I have already tried some of the techniques I learned in the seminar and from my view as well as that from my supervisor, the results were good.”

"[The] seminar was an enriching, learning and inspiring experience. We have learned a lot from our various experiences and practices. The seminar was an eye-opener on how with cooperation and converted effort, terrorism will be banished from within our borders."
