The National Police Service (NPS) has officially announced the date for the next recruitment of police constables following the lifting of court orders that had previously blocked the exercise.

According to NPS, applicants must meet several minimum requirements, including being Kenyan citizens aged between 18 and 28 years, holding a valid national ID, and having at least a D+ in KCSE with a minimum D+ in either English or Kiswahili.

Candidates are also required to be physically and medically fit, with a minimum height of 5ft 8in for males and 5ft 3in for females. Female applicants must not be pregnant during recruitment or training.

At the same time, those with criminal records or pending charges will be ineligible, while National Youth Service (NYS) graduates who meet the minimum requirements are encouraged to apply.
