Otjozondjupa Police Commander, Commissioner Philip Hidengwa, described Operation EROKU Amplified as a success with 60 arrests made. 

The operation that usually focuses on the Erongo and Kunene regions is now known as EROKU Amplified, this time around including the Otjozondjupa, Oshana, and Oshikoto regions.

The police, the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Tourism, and Save the Rhino Trust teamed up to fight crime in the five regions.

Commissioner Philip Hidengwa, the commander of Otjozondjupa Police, said, "They were looking at prevention of stock theft cases, illegal hunting, poaching, contravention of roads and transportation acts, and some other crimes, as well as incidents like human and wildlife conflict."

About 60 suspects were arrested during the operation, mainly for possession of drugs and stock theft.

The operation also covered the Etosha National Park, resulting in no poaching of rhinos reported during the time of EROKU Amplified in the park. 

Some community members were, however, found in possession of specially protected plants.

Although the operation was a success, access to proper vehicles was a challenge.

Operation EROKU Amplified started on 19th December and ended on the 6th of January.

Although the operation for the festive season has come to an end, officers deployed will remain on the ground.

During the debriefing parade, Warrant Officer Immanuel Ngitombwa was promoted to the rank of Inspector, while Chief Inspector Teofilus Iipinge, who served as the station commander of Khorixas Police Station, was transferred to Otjozondjupa as Head of the Crime Prevention Division.
