Raising the Bar Higher!

Published March 17, 2022

ILEA Bangkok has very exciting news to share! We maintained operations, through the continued health pandemic and trained over 300 law enforcement professionals. As a result, our Alumni utilized their training and had successful arrests. For example, Protection Manager Nickson Anak Robi from Indonesia used techniques from the Wildlife trafficking course to investigate, locate, and arrest a person trafficking over 2000 birds, which included ten types of protected species. Likewise, Superintendent Netnapa Ngamnet from Thailand used the Wildlife Border Inspection training to investigate, locate, and arrest a trafficker who was selling illegal wildlife online. Similarly, Chief Investigator Dedi Da Silva from Timor-Leste used his Cryptocurrency training to identify some computer crimes involving virtual cryptocurrency, which lead to a successful arrest and prosecution.

These success stories validate the value of ILEA Bangkok’s training, #CagetheBirds. Lastly, ILEA Bangkok was proud to receive and honor General Visanu Prasattongosth “Hin” with the 2021 ILEA Global Program Award for his outstanding cooperation with the United States. #RaisingtheBarHigher!
