LUSAKA—More than 80 aspiring Zambian crime fighters from the Zambian Police College received anti-counterfeiting training from United States Secret Service (USSS) agents on March 27-28. The training was conducted by U.S. Secret Service Investigative Specialist Des Chetty and Assistant Country Attaché Felton Worrell.
Both agents are based at the USSS regional office in Pretoria, South Africa, which oversees 21 countries, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa.
The anti-counterfeiting training consisted of presentations and a hands-on lab, where students examined both genuine and fake currency.
The USSS donated UV lights, linen testers and a microscope to the Police College so the lessons of the training sessions can be recreated for future police trainees.
