Police IG launches digital Occurrence Book for permanent record keeping

Police Inspector General Hillary Mutyambai has launched a Digital Occurrence Book (OB) at Kasarani Police Station.

While launching the digital OB on Friday morning, Mutyambai said it will guarantee transparency and accountability in police operations at the station level.

The reports entered through the digital OB will be subject to monitoring by ward, county and regional commanders as well as the Inspector General and other top commanders.

The IG added that digitising police OB is in line with the government’s policy of digitising services that are critical to service delivery to Kenyans.

In the past, there have been cases of records disappearing from the police stations manual OB books.
