An incredible 3 days of learning has concluded for seasoned Police investigators from Humas Polda Bali, Polresta Denpasar, Polresta Gianyar, BAG HUMAS Polres Badung” and our own intelligence operatives from Yayasan Project Karma Indonesia – YPKI at “The Investigation of Child Sexual Exploitation” Training Workshop delivered by international Police trainer, Mr.
@neale.fursdon
A session was also provided covering all relevant Indonesian legislation regarding child sexual assault offences and Police powers to investigate them by our YPKI Legal Representative and lawyer, Pak Anak Agung Gede Sekar, SH., MH., CIL.
Sharing of knowledge, successful evidence gathering techniques and new approaches to investigating these types of crimes is key to building capacity into the difficult job that Police do and we trust that this new information delivered over the last 3 days will immediately become part of these Detective’s operational duties and assist them in their current and future cases.
This training is worth thousands of dollars, which has been provided at no cost to any Police agency attending. Covering the costs for this training has come from our donors and sponsors as part of Project Karma’s Sentinel Model budget in Bali and we would like to thank Gate 7 and Striker Australia Pty Ltd for their annual donations but this cost was significantly reduced thanks to Mr. Fursdon providing his time for 3 days at no charge and he even covered the cost of his airfare from Bangkok – an incredible gift and we are very grateful.
We cannot thank him enough for all he has done to help our team and the Police in Indonesia to protect the children of Bali better. The feedback has been exceptional, with all attendees agreeing that this training was invaluable to their everyday duties.
We are pleased to be able to facilitate these types of specialised training sessions for senior investigators in Bali law enforcement agencies and we look forward to providing more of these types of sessions to them in future from many experts around the world which we have lined up to come to Bali over the next 12 months.
NGO’s and Police working together to combat these crimes in Bali is a new approach that we have been consistently working on for the last 2 years and we are very pleased to see the culmination of much hard work by many people to bring it all together.
Our projects are 100% reliant on public donations and we need your help to continue expanding our programs to areas of need to protect more children.
You can nominate where you would like to see your donation directed:
1. Education and Awareness Programs in schools and villages.
2. Investigation, Arrest, Prosecution and Rescue operations.
