Kanja's visit coincides with the UVID DroneTech Expo 2026, an international exhibition focusing on developments in unmanned aircraft systems and their applications in civilian operations, defence and law enforcement.

During the visit, the police chief participated in a shooting exercise, demonstrating his firearms handling abilities as part of activities involving security operations and tactical preparedness.

His engagement has added an interesting moment to the delegation's programme, which also includes meetings and visits to several Israeli security institutions.

Kanja and his team visited the MATPA Unit, a specialised tactical division within the Israel Police, where they had an opportunity to learn about operational approaches and specialised security training.

The delegation also toured the Israel National Police Academy, where officials shared information about the use of modern technology in police instruction, professional development and operational preparedness.

Another important engagement involved a meeting with David Katz, Head of the Interpol National Central Bureau, at the Israel Police Central Command Office in Jerusalem.

The discussions provided an opportunity for both sides to explore areas of cooperation, particularly in intelligence sharing, policing strategies and technological innovation.

Kanja is accompanied by General Service Unit Commandant Johana Tonui, National Police Service Director of Planning Richard Lesasuiyan and Ministry of Interior officials William Oduor and Peter Munywoki, among other senior officers.

The Israeli engagements form part of broader efforts to expose Kenyan security officials to international policing practices as agencies seek to strengthen their operational capabilities and improve public safety.
