Police Intensify Patrols Ahead of Christmas Celebrations
Police across the country have intensified security patrols and operations to ensure the safety of Kenyans during the upcoming Christmas and New Year festivities. The National Police Service has deployed additional officers to major towns, shopping centers, recreational spots, and transport hubs to prevent incidents of mugging, burglary, and traffic offenses that typically increase during the holiday season.
The security strategy involves a combination of highly visible foot and mobile patrols, as well as covert operations by plain-clothed officers to deter and apprehend criminals. Police have also established dedicated traffic units to manage the anticipated surge in vehicles and pedestrians, with a focus on preventing accidents caused by drunk driving and speeding.
Members of the public have been urged to remain vigilant, report any suspicious activities, and cooperate with security personnel. The National Police Service has assured citizens that all necessary measures have been taken to create a safe and secure environment, allowing families to celebrate the festive season in peace. The heightened security presence will be sustained through the New Year to ensure a smooth transition into 2025.
