UK Kent Police Praise Albanian State Police for Professionalism and Cooperation

The Albanian State Police demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and reliability during investigative and operational cooperation with their counterparts.
The Kent Police in the United Kingdom sent two letters of appreciation to the Albanian State Police, recognizing their commitment and professionalism in two recent cases.
1. “The swift arrest of A. Sh., the individual accused of murder, as part of Operation 81, carried out in Tirana, would not have been possible without the outstanding cooperation of our colleagues in the Albanian State Police, specifically the Special Operations Directorate within the Criminal Police Department.” They expressed gratitude and sincere thanks for the support provided in locating and quickly arresting the suspect.
2. The Institute of Scientific Police of the Albanian State Police’s high-level expertise in DNA analysis contributed to the successful conclusion of the police operation “Boomerang.” During this operation, they identified G. U., a 29-year-old citizen of Kurbin suspected of involvement in 33 theft cases that occurred in various areas of the United Kingdom between 2023 and 2025.
The suspect was identified through an analysis of data in the CODIS database of the Institute of Scientific Police, which revealed a familial DNA match.
Analyzing DNA-based data was crucial for legally documenting this individual’s activities in the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, in letters of appreciation, Kent Police representatives stated:
“We wish to express our sincere gratitude and thanks.”
“It is a great pleasure to know that we are able to cooperate so effectively with our colleagues from the Albanian Police in order to prevent and detect crimes that cause significant harm to our communities.
These cases have reinforced our excellent working relationship and highlighted the importance of mutual assistance in preventing and solving crimes that affect our communities.
Additionally, Kent Police commended the Albanian Police Liaison Officer’s role and professionalism in coordinating and successfully concluding the operations in their letters of thanks.
