The National Police Service (NPS) has introduced sweeping new Standing Orders that formally redefine and expand the mandate of the elite General Service Unit (GSU), the most significant structural shake-up ever conducted in years.
The changes, contained in Legal Notice No. 158 of 2025 and published in a special issue of the Kenya Gazette on September 19, 2025, insert an entirely new Chapter 2A into the National Police Service Standing Orders.
