The Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) has improved its intelligence gathering capacity, as indicated by the increase in tip-offs received from the public in 2018.
The anti-drugs agency, in its 2018 annual report, said that it was able to improve on “its intelligence gathering capabilities…through the employment of more undercover officers, the recruitment of more reliable sources and continuous support from citizens.”
CANU said in 2018 it recorded an increase in phone calls and persons visiting its headquarters offering tips on suspicious narcotics activities. The agency said the increase in tip-offs is testimony to the confidence placed in it by the public.
