Strengthening SIPA Capacities – Cutting Edge Equipment Procured for SSU

As part of a continuous process of modernising and strengthening material and technical capacities of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), new equipment was procured for the SIPA Special Support Unit, which will bring the Unit to a higher level of readiness.

The equipment, among other things, includes the latest weapons of Belgian and British origin used by the most famous special units in the world: “Scar-L CQC“ rifle, cal. 5.56x45 mm, “P90“submachine gun, cal. 5.7x28 mm and sniper rifle “Accuracy International“ cal. 338 mm „Lapua Magnum“.

With procurement of the modern weapons, modelled upon the best world practices, Director of SIPA once again demonstrated his commitment to strengthen overall capacities of the Agency, as excellent results and fulfillment of the legislative role of SIPA, as the leading law enforcement agency in BiH in the fight against the most complex types of crime, can be expected only with staff profiling, continuous education and training and adequate material and technical equipment.
