"The original venue, located some two kilometres away, has been deemed unfit to conduct the recruitment due to ongoing construction works," the notice added.
This comes a day after NPS issued an appeal to the youth ahead of next week’s nationwide police recruitment.
In a statement on Friday, November 14, the service urged qualified applicants to turn up in large numbers and participate freely in the exercise.
NPS confirmed that the recruitment date remains unchanged and provided the official schedule and locations.
"On 31st October 2025, the National Police Service (NPS) placed an advertisement in all the leading daily newspapers, announcing the recruitment of 10,000 suitably qualified youths to be trained as police constables.
"The recruitment is confirmed to proceed as scheduled on Monday, 17th November 2025, from 8 am until 5 pm at all 427 recruitment centres across the country. It is a one-day exercise," the statement read.
NPS encouraged all eligible youth to take part, stressing that the opportunity represents a major step in shaping the future of policing in the country.
"The Service takes this opportunity to remind interested Kenyans with the requisite qualifications to participate freely. This is not just a chance to get a job; rather, it is a new dawn for Kenya. The successful young men and women will form a new cohort of officers expected to drive the positive and reformist agenda currently underway in the Service," the statement added.
NPS also addressed past concerns about bribery during similar exercises and warned that anyone attempting corruption will face consequences.
"The NPS is also acutely aware of previous allegations of corruption in past recruitments. We wish to state categorically and emphatically that anyone who indulges, or attempts to indulge, in bribery or corruption in any form, whether as a giver or a taker, will face the full force of the law," the statement concluded.
