The National Police Service has announced a change of venue for tomorrow, November 17, 2025, police recruitment exercise in Kamukunji Sub-County, Nairobi.
In a statement on Sunday, the Service said the recruitment, initially planned for Kamukunji Sports Grounds, will now take place at Morrison Primary School.
According to the NPS, Kamukunji is listed as Centre No. 408 in the ongoing national exercise.
The Service said the original venue had been deemed unfit for the recruitment due to ongoing construction works.
NPS added that the new location will accommodate all candidates expected to attend the Kamukunji exercise.
“The National Police Service wishes to notify candidates taking part in tomorrow's National Police Recruitment of a change of venue,” the statement read in part.
On Friday, NPS confirmed that its nationwide recruitment of 10,000 police constables will take place on Monday, November 17, 2025.
NPS spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga said the exercise will run from 8 am to 5 pm at all 427 recruitment centres across the country.
He described the process as a one-day exercise and encouraged qualified Kenyan youth to turn up.
“On 31st October 2025, the National Police Service (NPS) placed an advertisement in all the leading daily newspapers, announcing the recruitment of 10,000 suitably qualified youths to be trained as police constables.
“The recruitment is confirmed to proceed as scheduled on Monday, 17th November 2025, from 8 am until 5 pm at all 427 recruitment centres across the country. It is a one-day exercise,” the statement read.
It added that the successful applicants will form a cohort expected to drive the positive and reformist agenda currently underway in the Service.
The NPS also addressed concerns over corruption, acknowledging previous allegations of bribery in past recruitments.
It warned that anyone who indulges, or attempts to indulge, in bribery or corruption in any form—whether as a giver or a taker—will face the full force of the law.
The statement urged citizens to continue supporting the institution, calling the National Police Service’s mission a quest for trusted, professional, accountable, and people-centric policing for a safe and secure country.
On November 4, the NPS reiterated that 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.
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 were also encouraged to apply.
