NPS Sets Record Straight on Central Police Station OCS Court Processing

The National Police Service (NPS) has dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) of Central Police Station in Nairobi was being processed for a court appearance, terming the claims misleading and inaccurate.

In a press statement issued on May 19, 2026, the Service termed the reports as false, misleading, and lacking factual basis.

The statement rejected the claims, emphasizing procedural integrity within the service.

“The National Police Service wishes to respond to entirely erroneous and misleading social media reports alleging that the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) of Central Police Station, Nairobi, was being processed for a court appearance. This information is incorrect,” NPS noted.

The communication further underscored that any action involving officers is governed strictly by established internal procedures and legal thresholds.

“The NPS, like any disciplined service, has internal mechanisms to address matters concerning its members,” NPS added.

Internal Disciplinary Framework Clarified

According to the statement, outcomes of these internal mechanisms may vary depending on the nature and severity of a matter under review.

The institution clarified that such processes do not automatically translate into criminal proceedings or court appearances unless specific legal requirements are met.

“The NPS, like any disciplined service, has internal mechanisms to address matters concerning its members. These mechanisms may result in either administrative or disciplinary action. A court appearance does not occur arbitrarily; a specific legal threshold must be met,” the statement read.
