183 Police with Higher and Senior Training to Get Promoted after rigorous trainings conducted at the National Police Service training Campuses in Kiganjo and Emali.
The candidates will be assessed on governance issues financial management and General Police work. The Commission will also consider other criteria including academic qualifications and discipline. In accordance with the National Police Commission, 2015, undergoing promotional training does not automatically entitle an officer to promoyion. Instead, the training shall be considered alongside other requirements for the position in which promotion is desired. This ensures that promotions are based on a holistic evaluation of qualifications, merit and other established criteria not just on the completion of training.
However, the Chief Executive Officer said in a statement that “it is important to note that the promotions are not automatic” adding that officers must demonstrate competence and readiness to assume higher responsibilities. Based on the Commission assessment, officers who may not meet the required standards and fail the interview may not get promoted.
