Kenya Police Moves to Establish NYPD-Style Unit for Nairobi

A Kenyan delegation is in New York and is being taken through detailed presentations on how the department investigates crime, tracks criminal trends, and deters offenders across the five boroughs of the U.S. city as part of the planned Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit.

The visit comes months after President William Ruto directed the Ministry of Interior to establish a dedicated Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit to tackle rising security challenges and protect the city's growing economic interests.
