Key aspects of police work, such as "arrest" procedures, were thoroughly discussed, emphasizing adherence to legal guidelines and human rights. The session also provided crucial insights into "Seizure" of evidence, ensuring that all collected materials are handled correctly to maintain their admissibility in court. Finally, the training concluded with a focus on the "Prosecution of Accused" and the vital process of securing "Prosecution Sanction," providing DEF personnel with a clearer understanding of the judicial process beyond their initial investigative duties.
