THE staff of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) and other security operatives have attended a three-day training workshop in Tamale on fraud detection and intelligence reporting.
It was aimed among other objectives at upgrading the skills of the participants to keep them abreast of current trends in the performance of their respective duties.
The participants were taken through topics such as basic security features, passenger assessment and profiling, document personalisation, impostor detection, document examination, interviewing of victims and witnesses, intelligence process and report writing.
The GIS organised the workshop with sponsorship from the European Union Commission under its “AENEAS” programme. It was on the theme: “Countering document fraud in Ghana”.
Addressing the participants, the Northern Regional Commander of the GIS, Mr Divine Narlobie observed that human resource development was critical in any meaningful development.
He, therefore, called for concerted efforts to upgrade the skills of the staff of the security services.
Mr Narlobie entreated participants to put into practice the knowledge they had acquired at the workshop.
“This training programme would keep you abreast of current issues while exercising your duties at your respective duty posts”, the commander stressed.
Some of the participants told the Daily Graphic that intelligence process and report writing were relevant to their work.
They added that such workshops were needed periodically to keep security operatives abreast of the changing trends in document security.
They further said it was not possible to achieve full document security because of the technological advancements and the use of sophisticated gadgets to process documents.
“You might even sign your own death warrant or terminate your appointment without knowing because of the use of modern gadgets by some persons”, a participant remarked.
