The Kenya Police Service (KPS) has announced that its band is available for hire by members of the public for private events.

Taking to the official X account on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, KPS revealed that members of the public can hire the band for functions such as weddings, graduations, corporate events, and other events.

“Did you know? You can hire the Kenya Police Band for your private functions, which include weddings, graduations, and corporate events. With unmatched discipline and a rich musical heritage, the band delivers a unique and memorable experience for any occasion,” KPS stated.

According to the service, booking charges range from Ksh40,000 to Ksh60,000, depending on the type of event.

“Booking rates range from KSh 40,000 to KSh 60,000,” KPS noted.

The Ksh40,000 is for the entry-level fee, usually for standard events such as regional conferences, training seminars, corporate team-building, networking cocktail parties, product launches, and annual general meetings.

On the other hand, the Ksh60,000 tier is for complex or corporate engagements, including workshops, team-building activities like scavenger hunts, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, such as charity bike builds.

KPS emphasises that their band boasts exceptional professionalism and a rich musical heritage, making it well-equipped to provide top-quality entertainment for any occasion.

“With unmatched discipline and a rich musical heritage, the band delivers a unique and memorable experience for any occasion,” KPS stated.

Based at the National Police College Main Campus in Kiganjo, Nyeri County, the KPS Band is renowned for its precision in marching and its rich musical heritage, cultivated over decades of service.

Distinct divisions

The band is not a single unit; it operates two distinct divisions, each designed to suit different audiences and occasions.

The Brass Band focuses on instrumental performances for parades, graduations, and official ceremonies, making it ideal for formal events that call for dignity and grandeur.

The Jazz Band, on the other hand, offers greater versatility, performing contemporary and faith-based melodies that create a warm, celebratory atmosphere, perfect for spiritual gatherings and entertainment-driven events.
