CTP Ambassadors
Dedication. Patriotism. Passion.
The war on terrorism requires partnerships with all stakeholders to succeed. Organizations and individuals offering valuable support to the fight against violent extremism and terrorism deserve appreciation and honour for their work which will also motivate others to join the worthy cause. Some of the areas individuals have demonstrated heroic actions include anti-terrorism awareness, offering rescue services during terror attacks, conducting counter-terrorism operations, and running deradicalization programmes.
It is for this reason that Counter Terrorism Policing Kenya dedicates this section to celebrate Anti-terrorism Ambassadors.
