Detectives from the DCI Anti-Terrorism Police Unit's Emergency Response team have completed a demanding and advanced combat riding course, held at Kedong training camp in Naivasha, Nakuru County.

The course, which was organized by the DCI's partners, including the US Embassy's office of Anti-Terrorism Assistance and TripleTap Academy, Kibo and BMW Mistorrad, was designed to enhance the team's capacity to respond promptly to emergent and high-risk incidents requiring specialized skills and tactics.

The specialized training covered a range of skills, including obstacle crossing, speedy maneuvers with an armed pillion passenger, and target shooting while in motion.

The course aimed to provide the Emergency Response Team with the immediate response capability needed to manage incidents expeditiously, particularly in response to terror threats.

Mike Solis, the Anti-Terrorism Assistance Regional Programs Manager, praised the team's successful completion of the course, noting that they were now better equipped to manage incidents and respond to the ever-changing security situations.
