Nauru holds first narcotics training for health and law enforcement

The training was facilitated and funded by ABF as part of ongoing efforts to train and up-skill law enforcement agencies such as the police force, border security personnel and health.

NPF Superintendent Training Kalinda Blake confirmed drugs have been discovered in Nauru and the training is essential for border protection officers.

“The training is important as drugs have been found and confiscated in Nauru, (and) legally officers in our border agencies have not been trained to test the drugs they seize.
