The Academy is currently divided into two major Divisions: Administration and Training. The Administration Division handles all administrative activities whilst the Training Division manages training activities, and is further structured into two Sections: Training Coordination Section and the Faculties. The Training Coordination Section ensures the successful implementation of the various training activities (i.e. Capacity Development Program, Cadet Training, Networking and Collaboration, Certificated Courses), but draws its resources partly from the Faculties Section. The Academy is currently at the verge of offering certificated courses including Certificate Programmes, National Diploma, Post‑Graduate Diploma and Masters Degree in Law Enforcement Studies, Anti‑corruption, Cybercrimes, Digital Forensics and Forensic Accounting, in affiliation with reputable Tertiary Institutions both within and outside the country. |
