Border Police Unit

On May 22, the U.S. Ambassador to Kenya, Kyle McCarter donated 40,000 facemasks to the Border Police Unit (BPU) to help the BPU maintain a healthy and effective force during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The size of the donation, made possible through funding by the Department of State’s Anti-Terrorism Assistance Program, equips the BPU to protect all of their personnel with facemasks as they secure Kenya’s borders, and will enable officers to distribute facemasks to Kenyans they meet on their patrols who do not have one.
