Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has been recognized as the best law enforcement agency in Africa. This accolade was awarded following a survey conducted by Kenya Trak, a research and survey firm.
Highlights
- DCI has been actively involved in fighting crime
- They have invested in advanced technology to help them in investigations
- A recent survey confirms DCI as the best in Africa
The DCI’s dedication to excellence and collaboration with international agencies has been instrumental in its success. The agency has invested in advanced technology and forensic labs to combat transnational crimes like cybercrime, terrorism, and human trafficking.
Kenya’s strategic location in East Africa has made it a hub for regional crime, placing additional pressure on the DCI. However, the agency’s ability to effectively handle these challenges has earned it recognition as the best in Africa.
While each African law enforcement agency has its own strengths and focuses, they all share a common goal: to protect their countries and ensure justice is served. Collaboration and innovation are essential in addressing the complex challenges of crime in today’s world.

Following Kenya, Ghana’s Criminal Investigation Department and Uganda’s Criminal Investigation Department were ranked second and third, respectively. Ethiopia’s National Bureau of Investigation and Morocco’s General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance secured fourth and fifth places.
The survey highlights the growing sophistication of African law enforcement agencies and their ability to tackle various crimes using advanced techniques and global partnerships. It reflects their collective efforts to enhance their investigative capabilities and adapt to the evolving landscape of crime on the continent.
