PS Omollo leads delegation to Italy on Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit benchmarking mission

Internal Security and National Administration Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo has led a high-level Kenyan delegation to Rome, Italy, on a benchmarking mission aimed at informing the establishment of the proposed Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit.

The visit is part of the government's efforts to strengthen urban security and improve coordination among security agencies operating within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area.

According to the Ministry of Interior, the delegation is studying Italy's internal security framework, which is widely regarded for its multi-agency and layered approach to public safety.

Italy's Ministry of Interior oversees a broad range of responsibilities, including public security, policing, migration management, public order, civil protection and territorial administration.

During the mission, the Kenyan team is engaging with various Italian security institutions to gain insights into how Rome manages security challenges within a complex urban environment.

The government says lessons drawn from Rome's security model will help shape the structure and operations of the planned Nairobi Metropolitan Police Unit.

The proposed unit is expected to enhance public safety, strengthen crime prevention efforts, improve emergency response capabilities and streamline service delivery for residents across the Nairobi metropolitan region.
