In a significant move to enhance law enforcement in Sri Lanka, the Ministry of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs has unveiled plans to establish crime investigation divisions across all provinces, starting with the Southern Province. Minister Ananda Wijepala announced that these divisions aim to regularize and streamline the investigation process, complementing the existing police stations.
According to the Minister, the establishment of these provincial crime units is part of a broader effort to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of criminal investigations. By decentralizing certain investigative functions, the police force will be better equipped to handle cases with a more focused and systematic approach.
Currently, these divisions have already been set up in the Southern Province, with plans to expand to other provinces following cabinet approval. Minister Wijepala emphasized that certain high-profile or complex investigations will continue to be directly supervised by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), ensuring a coordinated response to crime across the nation.
