LMRA also conducted a joint campaign in Muharraq in coordination with the Sentence enforcement directorate and the General Directorate of Crime Detection and Forensic Evidence of the Ministry of Interior.

The other campaign was undertaken in the Capital Governorate conducted by the LMRA Enforcement sector.
