Despite converting their official name from a force, the Kenya Police Service has had a difficult time relating well with common wananchi.
However, that changed when the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) set out to lay it all on what happens in the field.
The lethal unit established a communications department that focuses on intriguing police work aimed at changing the public perception of the police.
From tongue twisting english to fiction-like narrations, the DCI reports have gained traction among Kenyan social media users.
Today, George Kinoti, the director of DCI, has finally revealed the faces behind their much-discussed social media platforms.
Kinoti published images of the men and one women who have been applauded for their impressive reporting skills.
Kenyans wasted no time in responding to the Facebook post, with some ogling the officers and some requesting for their contact information.
Others requested that DCI tag the police so that they could speak with them on the side in the event of a ’emergency.’
Former US Ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter lauded the DCI boss for crime reports.
“Always good to see my friend @DCI_Kenya, fighting together vs thieves that are stealing the deserved prosperity the wananchi deserve. #USAMarafiki is investing in training and capacity building and blocking entry to US to #stopthesethieves. Tutafanya kazi pamoja na kushinda (we shall work together and win),” the Ambassador said.
