President William Ruto presided over the passing-out parade at the National Police College, Embakasi 'B' Campus, marking the deployment of the officers to various GSU formations across the country. The Recce unit, responsible for counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and other high-risk interventions, will require the specialised training of the new officers before they can be fully deployed.",
