Monrovia, Liberia | January 23, 2026| A high-level delegation from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), led by Christen Schill, visited the Liberia National Police (LNP) Headquarters on Thursday, January 22, 2026.

The closed-door meeting with LNP Inspector General Gregory Coleman focused on addressing critical security issues, including transnational crime, financial crimes, and capacity building.

The visit underscores the ongoing collaboration between Liberian and US law enforcement agencies to combat security threats.

The LNP has been working to strengthen its capabilities, recently receiving donations of equipment and supplies from China to enhance its operations and institutional efficiency.

The FBI delegation’s visit to the LNP Headquarters is part of ongoing efforts to enhance Liberia’s capacity to combat transnational organized crime and illicit trafficking.

Liberia has been actively working to strengthen its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing frameworks.

In 2021, the country passed the Financial Intelligence Agency Act, and in 2025, it joined the Egmont Group, a global network of Financial Intelligence Units, to improve international cooperation and share intelligence on financial crimes.

The LNP, in collaboration with international partners like the FBI, aims to boost its investigative capabilities and address threats such as money laundering and terrorist financing.

Recent training workshops, like the one organized by the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA) and the Inter-governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), have equipped law enforcement officials with skills to detect and prevent financial crimes.
