On November 27, 2009, the U.S. government boosted the efforts of the
Armenian police to combat illegal migration through the donation of
computer equipment and two vehicles, worth a total of about $70,000.
The donation ceremony was attended by Deputy Chief of Mission Joseph
Pennington on behalf of the U.S. Embassy and, on behalf of the
Government of Armenia by Deputy Chief of Police Hovhannes Hunanyan.
The new equipment and vehicles will assist the Division on
International Cooperation and Combat against Illegal Migration to
effectively and speedily implement operations and searches in the
field; analyze, compile, process, and preserve sensitive information
and databases on the cases and offenders; as well as prevent people
from engaging in document fraud and illegal crossing of borders.
It will also contribute to effective cooperation between the National
Police and other interested parties, including foreign diplomatic
representations in Armenia, in joint efforts against illegal migration
and related crimes, such as illegal stay in other countries, illegal
labor migration, etc.
