News from Uganda

NDIC's international training is highlighted in Police Trained on Tracking Criminals, an article in The New Vision - Uganda's Leading Website. This article discusses the week-long course performed by senior criminal intelligence analysts from the International Police (Interpol) and the United States Department of Justice's NDIC representative.

SENTRY is an Internet-based system designed to collect and disseminate synthetic drug-related data in order to identify new trends at an early stage, evaluate their likely importance, and track their development.

SENTRY focuses on synthetic drugs that are primarily produced via a chemical process, such as LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as ecstasy), and methamphetamine. To be truly effective as an early warning system, however, the system also monitors prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, botanical substances and extracts, and chemicals and products involved in the manufacturing of synthetic drugs.
