Kenya's police is looking to replicate one of the world's most recognizable police outfits, the New York Police Department (NYPD).
As the East African nation prepares to establish a new unit within its police force called the Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit, it is in the process of drawing lessons from its New York contemporary, the NYPD.
Recognized as one of the world's most technologically advanced law enforcement agencies, the NYPD serves as a reference point for how the new Kenyan police unit hopes to operate.
Kenya’s Interior Cabinet Secretary, Kipchumba Murkomen, revealed the developments on Wednesday, Jun 3, during a tour in New York City, alongside other Kenyan officials, who were briefed on how the NYPD uses technology, intelligence, and data analytics to prevent, investigate, and respond to crime across Nairobi's five boroughs, as reported by Kenyansco
“We are taking these lessons and best practices back home as we gear up for the establishment of the Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit,” the cabinet secretary stated.
