How to Use This Directory
Choose a station near your location and open its map listing to check the approach. The areas below describe geographical locations, not official policing boundaries.
Map listings are navigation references and may contain outdated entrances, telephone numbers or opening hours. Confirm the destination before travelling, especially if an officer has directed you to a particular station or office.
Direct station numbers are omitted where current official confirmation was unavailable.

Use the mapped approach to identify the final turn and entrance. A main-road destination may still require a connecting journey or walk.
Getting to a Police Station by Public Transport
Use the Nairobi Matatu Routes directory to identify the relevant travel corridor.
Before boarding, tell the conductor the full station name and ask for the nearest practical drop-off point. Check the remaining walking route rather than assuming the vehicle stops at the station gate.
Fares vary and can change at any time. During an immediate threat, call emergency services instead of delaying assistance to plan a public transport journey.
Preparing for a Visit
Carry any relevant information already available, such as a report reference, messages, transaction records, photographs or vehicle details. Keep original digital records intact.
For follow-up visits, note the station where the original report was made and any instructions about the officer or department handling it. Ask for clarification if you have been directed to a different office.
The Nairobi Police Emergency Contacts guide explains the main reporting channels and information to provide.
Directory Scope and Updates
