Standard Bank Empowers Namibian Police with Tech Tools to Boost Crime-Fighting Efforts. Standard Bank Namibia has donated a set of laptops and printers to the Namibian Police Force’s Commercial Crime Unit, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the country’s law enforcement infrastructure in the digital age.
The official handover was marked by remarks from Standard Bank’s Head of Compliance, Roxzaan Witbooi, who emphasized the growing importance of digital capabilities in combating modern crime. As financial and cyber-related crimes become increasingly sophisticated, tools that enable faster data access, efficient documentation, and real-time reporting are essential.
The donated laptops and printers will be deployed to police divisions across all 14 regions of Namibia. This nationwide rollout aims to strengthen operational efficiency and support timely investigations into economic crimes.
The Namibian Police Force welcomed the donation, acknowledging the growing need for technological resources in daily operations. The equipment is expected to streamline workflows, reduce administrative delays, and improve investigative precision.
Standard Bank Namibia’s gesture forms part of its broader commitment to national development, aligning its corporate social investment efforts with public safety and institutional capacity building. The initiative underscores the bank’s belief that economic progress must be accompanied by a secure environment.
