The Somali Criminal Investigation Directorate (CID) is one of the most vital institutions in ensuring the safety and security of the Somali people. As a key division of the Somali Police Force (SPF), the CID is responsible for investigating serious crimes, enforcing the rule of law, and maintaining internal security across the country.
CID’s work spans a wide spectrum—from criminal investigations and forensic science to counterterrorism and cybercrime response. The Directorate also plays a critical role in intelligence gathering and collaborates with international agencies such as INTERPOL and the African Union to address transnational crimes.
Through its tireless efforts, the CID is helping build a Somalia where justice prevails and every citizen feels secure. The public is strongly encouraged to actively participate in crime prevention by reporting incidents and working with community safety programs.
Together, we can create a safer, crime-free Somalia. The CID is committed to being your trusted partner in delivering justice and protecting national security.
