Kilifi County bestowed with Digital Human Resource Information System

National Police Service has unveiled Digital Human Resource Information System in Kenya’s Kilifi County. The new system will bear real-time data on each police officer, including their recruitment, training, career progress, deployment, family records, and other related information. The service also aims at digitizing other services such as administrative procedures, the Occurrence Book (OB), and the Crime Management System.

“This system now gives the Inspector General a bird’s eye view of the National Police Service, making it easy to identify vacancies and the skills needed to fill in these vacancies. Alongside other measures, we’re beginning to institute meritocracy over nepotism. It’s no longer about who you know, but, what you know,” said interior CS Dr Fred Matiang’I, as reported by Kahawa Tungu.

“The disappearance of records will soon be a thing of the past as all Occurrence Books at police stations will also be digitized in due course. We will also be able to monitor how a case is moving, from the investigative officer to its logical conclusion,” Matiang’I added.
