Abel Kirui wins Gold in Berlin

AP Inter-Province Championship held at Nyayo Stadium

In recognition of the various individual sporting talents and as a way of engaging officers while away from core duties,
the Administration Police established its Sports Council in 2001. This Council has since been affiliated to Athletics
Kenya.

Besides running on the AK Calendar, the Administration Police has an annual sporting calendar which brings together
its men and women countrywide to compete in various disciplines.

Prior to the establishment of the AP Sports Council, the AP had a good number of sportsmen who were taking part in
national and international meetings under the umbrella of other existing sporting bodies e.g. The Prisons Service.
With the formation of the Sports Council, the AP has seen an increased level of competitiveness as well as enhanced
cohesiveness among the Administration Police personnel. Besides this, untapped talent has been brought to the
fore and more AP personnel have emerged winners and have continued to represent the Country in various events.

The AP Sports Council oversees the following sporting events in the Force including;

• Athletics
• Boxing
• Football
• Darts
• Volleyball
• Tae Kwon Do

Since its inception the Administration Police Sports Council has successfully managed to hold six annual
inter-provincial Sports Championships.

The Administration Police Athletic team was formed from ordinary AP personnel who joined the Force without
