Inspector-General of Police Douglas Kanja has gazetted a new specialised police unit, the National Government Administration Police Unit (NGAPU), to support chiefs and assistant chiefs in their duties and enforce government policies across Kenya.

• The NGAPU was officially gazetted on December 23, 2025.
• The unit's primary function is to provide protective security to government officers and support national government administrative officers in their lawful duties within administrative units, especially in high-risk areas susceptible to banditry and terrorism.
• President William Ruto directed the establishment of this unit with 1,860 officers in December 2025 during a meeting with nearly 15,000 chiefs.
