Descripción de la actividad

On 22 and 23 October 2019, INTERPOL conducted Aa National iARMS Training Course for Namibia. The training was attended by 25 officers representing various national law enforcement agencies. The objectives of this training were to train officers on the use of the iARMS database and to promote the implementation of a firearm recovery protocol based on the INTERPOL Firearms Recovery Protocol. 

Descripción del Proyecto

Funded by the European Union, the INTERPOL Illicit Arms Records and tracing Management System (iARMS) is a platform that facilitates information exchange and investigative cooperation between law enforcement agencies in relation to the international movement of illicit firearms. Countries are encouraged to upload records of lost and stolen firearms in iARMS. Consequently, in the case of a recovered firearm, the database is queried and the country can identify when and where the firearm was diverted into illegal possession. Should the query does not generate a positive result, the user can send a request to the country of manufacture, country of last legal import (if marked on the firearm) and to any country that may be connected to the case.
