The Kenya National Police Service has announced 7,000 vacancies 
for recruits as it moves to beef up the capacity of law enforcement 
officers in the run-up to the March General Election.
This will be the second batch of recruits that 
will be trained under the new curriculum which increased the course 
period from nine to 15 months and raised the entry bar for those seeking
 to join the service.
The employer, the newly-established National 
Police Service Commission, says 4,000 of the successful applicants would
 be posted to the Kenya Police and the others to the Administration 
Police.
“The National Police Service Commission seeks to 
recruit suitable and qualified candidates who satisfy the provision of 
the Constitution, the enabling Acts and the additional criteria to be 
trained as Police Constables,” said Johnston Kavuludi, the chairperson 
of NPSC.
