The agency further accused them of interfering in active cases, engaging in unauthorized communication with suspects, and taking actions that compromised ongoing operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis conduct represents a serious breach of the LDEA\u2019s professional standards and undermines the integrity of the institution,\u201d the agency said in a statement issued Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The LDEA emphasized that it maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of misconduct, collusion, or compromise that could weaken its mandate in combating drug trafficking and abuse. As a result, the two individuals have been permanently barred from any future consideration within the agency.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities are also warning the public not to engage with or recognize Kamara and Geeplay as representatives of the LDEA under any circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>The agency reaffirmed its commitment to discipline, accountability, and strict law enforcement, urging citizens to continue supporting anti-drug efforts by reporting suspicious activities through its hotlines.<\/p>\n<p>The statement was signed by S\/A G.
