More than 200,000 police officers are set to undergo training on electoral processes, relevant laws and their responsibilities in securing Kenya’s 2027 General Election.
The training is part of the National Police Service’s Election Security Roadmap, which outlines measures aimed at strengthening the country’s preparedness for the upcoming polls.
According to the Interior Ministry, the programme will place particular emphasis on improving public order management and equipping officers with the knowledge required to handle election-related security responsibilities.
The training is also expected to familiarise officers with the legal framework governing elections and their role in maintaining law and order during the electoral period.
The initiative comes as security agencies begin preparations for the 2027 General Election, with the National Police Service seeking to strengthen its capacity to manage potential security challenges before, during and after the polls.
The roadmap forms part of broader government efforts to support a secure electoral environment and safeguard the election process.
