Benin’s anti-terrorism unit equipped to analyze crime scenes

The package includes computers, investigative materials, tools and technologies for processing crime scenes, office furniture, and large screens for analyzing evidence, according to the Beninese government.

This support was provided under the U.S. international assistance program for criminal investigation training. Beninese authorities present the initiative as a means to enhance working conditions, discretion, and the effectiveness of investigations related to terrorism and other criminal threats.

This delivery extends U.S. support to the Republican Police. On September 26, 2025, the two countries inaugurated a training center and announced a package of equipment valued at one million U.S. dollars.
