General Service Unit officers are now earning under a revised National Police Service salary structure, following the conclusion of a three-year pay review in July.
The updated scale covers all 12 police grades, from PG1 to PG12, each carrying a new minimum and maximum monthly salary.
Officers also remain entitled to additional allowances, including house and commuter benefits, depending on their rank and duty station.
The Ministry of Interior said entry-level basic pay for police training college graduates has risen from KSh 20,390 to KSh 38,975.
A serving police constable now earns up to KSh 57,700, up from a previous maximum of KSh 29,296.
The steepest percentage gains landed in the lower and middle tiers of the pay structure.
At PG1, the maximum monthly salary rose from KSh 38,975 to KSh 57,700, a jump of about 48 percent.
PG8 officers saw their minimum pay climb from KSh 57,060 to KSh 101,711, a rise of roughly 78 percent, while PG9 minimum pay moved from KSh 68,720 to KSh 111,906, up about 63 percent.
At the senior end, PG12 officers now earn between KSh 204,637 and KSh 345,850 monthly, up from a previous range of KSh 189,640 to KSh 289,090.
The revised ranges span PG1 at KSh 29,296 to KSh 57,700 through to PG12 at KSh 204,637 to KSh 345,850, with each intermediate grade adjusted accordingly.
The new figures align with police service-wide numbers announced in March, which set KSh 57,700 as the ceiling for a constable and KSh 345,850 as the top basic salary in the force.
The GSU, established in 1948 as an Armoured Mobile Unit, has grown into a specialised National Police Service arm handling high-readiness security operations.
It has been led by 19 commandants since its founding, and the latest pay adjustments apply across its full command structure.
