Good morning,
On Tuesday, August 29, the National Police Service (NPS) unveiled a new design for its officers and called for the public to participate in its selection.
Today, members of the public are invited to visit Ruring’u Police Training College to view the design and give their suggestions before the final choice is made.
The new design is expected to replace the current blue, which was introduced in 2018 when Fred Matiang’i was in charge of the Interior and National Administration docket.
The viewing exercise commenced yesterday at the Kenya Police Pavilion, South C, Nairobi and will end on Thursday, August 31, 2023, at the National Police College-Main Campus Kiganjo.
What do you think of the decision by the Inspector general and the leadership to have a new design for police uniforms?
