Police
The Kenya Police, which report to the Commissioner of Police in the Office of the President, fields about 18,000 officers. The General Service Unit (GSU) has around 5,000 paramilitary personnel. The regular police are backed up in rural areas by the Kenya Police Reserve (KPR) which is sometimes called the Kenya Home Guard. The Administration Police (AP), formerly the Tribal Police, report to local District Commissioners, who in turn report to the Office of the President.
