SOUTH EAST REGIONAL CPD EVENTS

On Friday 19th April 2024 Kent Police hosted a regional drug expert CPD event. The event was well attended by practicing experts from a variety of police forces and law enforcement organisations. 

The day provided opportunities for attendees to network with those from their neighbouring forces and several other organisations linked to or supporting DEW work specific to the region.

Speakers included those from the Home Office southern intelligence directive, SEROCU, HMPPS (Kent, Surrey & Sussex). Local examples and case studies were used to provide information on the impact of the current drug markets and their daily business. The NCA also provided a detailed update on the National threat and Dr David Potter provided an overview of the investigation challenges of ‘CBD Herbal Cannabis (Cannabis Light)’ and CBD products.
