DCI boss Kinoti awards his team for performing exceedingly

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations celebrated all the detectives within the DCI rank file on Wednesday for their exemplary performance during the year 2021.

The elaborate ceremony was held at the DCI headquarters spearheaded by the DCI director George Kinoti.

During the event, various detectives and teams that have performed exceedingly well were feted.

The Ant-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) was the first team to be rewarded for exemplary performance of their duties.

The unit had earlier presented trophies secured in different multi-agency competitions held in the recent past, where ATPU’s elite Emergency Response Team (ERT) had secured victory.

The tactical unit established barely two years ago, has grown to be a highly efficient unit within the Anti-Terror Police Unit.

The detectives are highly trained locally and overseas in close-quarter battles for counter-terrorism and hostage rescue operations and are on standby in case of any eventuality.

Also awarded was the DCI Volleyball team the “DCI Queens” which has brought pride and admiration not only to the Directorate but the country at large.

The team brought the Nyerere Cup home for the third year in a row, after making its debut in the national volleyball league in 2019. Despite having the youngest and most inexperienced players at the national stage, the team finished at position four ahead of established teams that have made headlines in the past.

The Director who was full of praise for the ATPU and DCI Queens also noted that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations valued and appreciated the efforts put in place by every detective in the country, in guaranteeing the public safety and security of Kenyans.

He assured every officer in the Directorate of his support in the discharge of their duties.

Also, the DCI boss thanked the Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Unit for discharging its mandate professionally and placing the DCI on the international stage.
