Major General Feroz Khan

sensitive and strategically significant position
Major General Feroz Khan serves as Component Head of Operational Intelligence Support within Crime Intelligence, having been promoted from Colonel to Major General within the unit, and was also appointed acting Component Head of Counter and Security Intelligence. He faced a disciplinary hearing related to an operation with the DPCI in which individuals were found in possession of drugs, and testimony described a recording suggesting a plot to dismiss him; he was ultimately acquitted. Khan also successfully challenged the expeditious handling of his matters in court. His name surfaced in connection with alleged interference in policing operations, including an Evaton drug operation, and he was identified as a contact person in conversations regarding an EFF celebration.
