What does KPR mean in POLICE

A Kenya Police Reservist (KPR) is an individual who aids in the maintenance of public safety and legal regulation in the country. KPRs are members of local communities who have been trained to assist the police in their duties. They are volunteers who provide assistance, support and reciprocal relationships with their local police forces to contribute to public safety.

KPRs receive comprehensive training that includes legal instruction, tactical and communication skills, use of force principles, cultural awareness, crisis intervention techniques, as well as other related topics. The training allows them to serve as a bridge between the community and law enforcement and they are expected to adhere to the same standards of ethics and professionalism that regular police officers comply with on duty.

Additionally, applicants must demonstrate good character traits including commitment, loyalty and dedication to the cause.
