The initiative was launched on Friday at the Kenya Police Training College in Kiganjo, Nyeri County, with the US Embassy in Kenya saying the programme will support Kenya’s efforts to build a modern, professional and effective police service.
“We believe well-trained officers can best protect and serve their fellow citizens. Safety is vital for Kenyan and American businesses operating here,” the US Embassy said in a statement posted on X.
The Embassy also congratulated the newest police officers graduating from the training college, reaffirming the US commitment to supporting security and prosperity in Kenya.
“This is why we are proud to launch a $7 million (KSh930 million) initiative today at the Police Training College in Kiganjo to support Kenya’s pursuit of a modern, professional, and effective police service,” it said.
The initiative comes amid ongoing efforts to strengthen police training, professionalism and effectiveness in Kenya.
