The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) today conducted a comprehensive Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) sensitisation programme for Administration Police Service (APS) recruits at the National Police College, Embakasi 'A' Training Campus, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen Kenya's frontline response to terrorism and violent extremism.
Spearheaded by officers from the Directorate of Countering Violent Extremism, the programme enhanced the recruits' understanding of the evolving terrorism and violent extremism threat landscape, radicalisation processes, and the increasingly sophisticated tactics employed by extremist groups, particularly those exploiting emerging technologies and online platforms.
The upcoming officers were equipped with practical knowledge and operational skills to identify, prevent, and respond to terrorism and violent extremism-related threats, while reinforcing their critical role in safeguarding the country against radicalisation and recruitment into extremist networks.
Key areas covered included radicalisation pathways and recruitment trends, protective security awareness, identification of suspicious persons and activities, and the evolving nature of violent extremist threats in Kenya. The sessions also emphasised intelligence gathering, early intervention, and the importance of community engagement in preventing extremist influence.
Facilitators further familiarised the recruits on terrorist financing, highlighting the various mechanisms through which extremist groups sustain their operations, including illicit cross-border trade, money laundering, illegitimate business ventures, extortion of local businesses, and the growing misuse of digital financial platforms.
The recruits were also taken through Kenya's legal and policy framework on Countering Violent Extremism, underscoring the pivotal role of the National Police Service in preventing, detecting, and responding to extremist activities while upholding the rule of law and protecting human rights.
As they prepare to graduate and begin their policing careers, the recruits were reminded that radicalisation can affect individuals from all walks of life. They were encouraged to remain vigilant, uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism, and exercise sound judgment in the discharge of their duties.
The sensitisation programme forms part of the Directorate's broader strategy to build Countering Violent Extremism capacity among newly recruited officers undergoing basic police training across National Police Service training colleges ahead of their graduation.
The DCI remains steadfast in working closely with partner agencies to institutionalise Countering Violent Extremism training within police recruit curricula, reinforcing intelligence-led, community-centred approaches to protecting Kenyans from the threats of terrorism and violent extremism.
@HonAdenDuale I'm gonna be frank with you, you didn't actually sign that document, a pic of your name and signature was just inserted and resized. Doesn't this amount to forgery? Moreso the document itself isn't real.
🇰🇪 EXPOSED: France got humiliatingly kicked out of the Sahel for decades of neo-colonial plunder, military bases, and resource extraction.
Now Macron is in Nairobi, smiling with Ruto at State House as they secretly sign 11 new “instruments” between Kenya and France.
No public details. No debate in Parliament. No explanation to suffering Kenyans paying killer taxes.
This isn’t “partnership.”
This is Françafrique 2.0 — hunting for new hosts after West Africa said “enough.”
Kenya is NOT for sale, Africa is NOT for sale.
What exactly did Ruto sign away? Our sovereignty? Our resources? Our future?
Kenyans deserve full transparency NOW.
