The National Police Service (NPS) has announced adjustments to its ongoing recruitment exercise for police constables, affecting several recruitment centres.
In a notice on Friday, November 7, Inspector General Douglas Kanja Kirocho said the updates include both additions and corrections to earlier advertised recruitment venues.
“The National Police Service wishes to bring to the attention of the public that the following additions and corrections have been made to the recruitment centres for police constables,” the notice read.
According to the updated notice, ex-National Youth Service (NYS) candidates can now present themselves either at their respective home sub-county recruitment centres or at the NYS Headquarters in Ruaraka, Nairobi, which was inadvertently omitted from the initial advertisement.
The NPS also made corrections to several recruitment centres.
In Kajiado County, the Kajiado West Sub-County recruitment centre will now be at Ole Polos, while the Elangata Wuas Sub-County recruitment will take place at Elangata Wuas DCC’s Office.
In Narok County, the Narok West Sub-County recruitment centre has been moved to Ng’oswani Centre.
Kanja confirmed that all other information from the initial recruitment notice remains unchanged.
“All other details contained in the previous advertisement remain unchanged,” the notice added.
NPS announced that the nationwide recruitment of Police Constables will take place on Monday, November 17, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
In a statement on Tuesday, November 4, the NPS said applicants must meet a set of minimum qualifications before presenting themselves for the exercise.
Candidates are required to be Kenyan citizens holding a valid national identity card, aged between 18 and 28 years, and possess a minimum grade of D+ in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, with at least a D+ in English or Kiswahili.
They must also be physically and medically fit, with a minimum height requirement of five feet eight inches for men and five feet three inches for women.
Additionally, applicants must have no criminal record, while female candidates are required not to be pregnant during recruitment or throughout the training period.

National Youth Service (NYS) graduates who meet these criteria are also encouraged to apply.
Interested candidates are expected to download and fill the prescribed application forms ahead of the recruitment date.
The forms are available on several official websites, including those of the National Police Service, Kenya Police, Administration Police, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and MyGov.
Applicants may also collect physical copies from the nearest Huduma Centres.
Once the forms have been completed, applicants are required to appear in person at their respective recruitment centres with original and photocopies of their academic certificates, national identity card, and birth certificate.
NYS graduates should also carry their discharge certificate, provided they achieved a minimum rating of “Good’ in conduct.
All original documents will be returned to the applicants after verification.
In a public advisory, NPS cautioned against corruption and any attempts to manipulate the recruitment process.
It noted that the exercise is transparent and free of charge, warning that any form of bribery or misinformation will attract legal consequences.
