While organised at a national level, each arm reports to a Regional Police Commander, which in turn divides its force into County, Sub County and finally police stations and Police Posts in that order. All these element report to a Kenya Police Headquarters in Nairobi, and several specialist elements, such as the Kenya Airport Police Unit, are commanded directly from here. An Administration Police service is commanded through a hierarchy separate from that of the National Kenya Police.[5] For other state security bodies see Law enforcement in Kenya. HistoryThe Kenya police force was established as a British colonial police force in 1907. From the 1887 to 1902 policing was provided by the East Africa Trading Company. After 1902 the Kenya-Uganda Railway introduced their own police units.[6] In 1906 the Police Ordinance was established to create a new force in 1907, the Nairobi Mounted Police within the jurisdiction of the East Africa Protectorate. The current force's name came into effect in 1920 with the newly created British Kenya Colony. The colonial force was made up mainly of British and Indian recruits as senior officers and Africans amongst lower ranks.[6] Following Kenya's independence, the British officers were replaced with local Kenyan members. The current structure Regional Police Commander in charge of a region (Formerly provinces). County Police Commander incharge of County Formations. Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) in charge of Sub-Counties (Previously called District). Officer Commanding Station incharge of police posts and/or divisional formations. However it is good to note that the current reforms, restructuring has been done thus some of these positions have been renamed. Current FormationsThe current Inspector General is Joseph Kipchirchir Boinett following the introduction of the position to replace the police commissioner. He is the second holder of the position after David Mwole Kimaiyo.[7] The immediate former police commissioner is Mathew Kirai Iteere who is also the former General Service Unit (GSU) commandant.[8] He was deputised by the Principal Deputy Police Commissioner, Francis Okonya. Julius Ndegwa is the Director of Police Operations. The Kenya Police is divided into the following formations;[9] the unit commandants/directors generally hold the rank of Senior Deputy Commissioner of Police (S/DCP) I or II, or Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police (S/ACP):
Societal impactFollowing a history of human rights abuses by the Kenya Police, efforts are being made to reform the force.[11] Kenyan policemen are poorly paid and have to make use with archaic housing that has not been expanded or renovated since the 1970s. This has made them very susceptible to corruption and crime. Extortion and bribery are not unknown practices and the Kenyan people rank the police among the most corrupt bodies in the country.[12][13] In July 2010 the Minister, Prof. George Saitoti, announced a 28% pay increase for junior officers and a 25% pay increase for senior officers. This reform means that the most junior officer, a Police Constable, shall receive Ksh 21,000/month including allowances.[14][15] Police ranksThe Kenya Police wear badges of rank on the shoulders (Inspector-General – Inspector) and sleeve (Senior Sergeant – Constable) of their uniform to denote their rank. In line with the ongoing reforms, the uniforms committee is also working on new insignia for the revised rank structure, which will have to be approved by the National Police Service Commission.[16] The order of Kenya Police ranks is as follows:[17]
Former Kenya Police ranks and insignia can be found at this reference.[18] Commissioners of Police & Inspectors-GeneralFrom 1906 to 1964 the force was headed by British officers. The following officers have to date served in the capacity of Commissioner of Police:[19]
The following officers have served as Inspector-General:
Ongoing changesFollowing the promulgation of the new Constitution of Kenya on 27 August 2010, as laid down in Chapter 17 Part 4, the Kenyan police forces is undergoing a series of reforms. Hence called The Kenya Police Service, it is now headed by a Deputy Inspector-General and the division of its functions are organised to take into account the devolved structure of government in Kenya. EquipmentThe equipment of the Kenya Police and General Service Unit (GSU), a paramilitary wing of the Kenyan Police, comprises:
