The illegal trade of arms and ammunition has been a significant contributor to regional violence, and police forces have been at the forefront of curbing this activity. Through coordinated raids, intelligence sharing, and undercover operations, police have successfully dismantled several illicit arms trafficking networks. These operations not only target the suppliers of weapons but also disrupt the flow of firearms into conflict zones and prevent them from being used in violent acts.
In addition, stricter gun control policies are being enforced, and the public is encouraged to surrender illegal firearms through amnesty programs. Efforts to educate local communities about the dangers of illegal weapons, along with the police’s commitment to transparency, aim to reduce the prevalence of violence linked to unauthorized arms.
