Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti on Tuesday disbanded the dreaded flying Squad Unit. "This marks the end of the Flying Squad Unit and no officer will present himself or herself to the public as such,” Kinoti said in a statement. To replace the Flying Squad, Kinoti formed another squad called Sting Squad Headquarters (SSH) that will have a maximum of 50 specialised officers. In the changes, Special Crime Prevention Unit (SCPU) was scaled down to a smaller unit and renamed Special Service Unit (SSU) which will be based at the Nairobi Headquarters. This is the second time that the Flying Squad Unit is being restructured in two years.
