To maintain law and order, a country relies on its "men (and women) in blue." In Kenya, this critical responsibility is shouldered by the National Police Service, an umbrella organisation for three powerful sub-sections: the Kenya Police Service, the Administration Police Service, and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Despite having different functions, the three sub-sections of the law enforcement body all have the same mandate.
The three are organised by a seamless command structure that employs a top-down system, laying out the basis of reporting and command.
At the apex of this command system is the Inspector-General of Police, currently Douglas Kanja.
