As the nation marks Customer Service Week, the Nairobi Regional Administration Police Service (APS) Commander Mr. John Amadadi,CP has called on officers to uphold professionalism, courtesy and respect in every interaction with members of the public. The Commander emphasised the importance of treating customers with dignity, listening attentively to their complaints and concerns, and responding with patience, empathy and a strong commitment to service. Nairobi Region APS officers provide security and support to the Directorate of Immigration Services at Nyayo House, an institution under the State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, which, among other functions, is mandated to facilitate the issuance of passports.
During an early-morning briefing, the Corporate Communication team, led by Mr. Terah Chadenya, SSP, sensitised officers on the importance of ethical customer service, effective communication and responsible social media engagement. The session emphasised that every interaction presents an opportunity to build public trust and positively represent the Service. Officers were encouraged to communicate respectfully, remain professional when handling difficult situations and ensure that their conduct reflects the values and standards of the APS.
Officers were reminded that customer service extends beyond the physical workplace to every interaction, including social media. They were encouraged to think before they post, safeguard personal and operational information, respect the privacy and dignity of others, avoid cyberbullying and respond to criticism professionally rather than emotionally. Responsible digital communication, the officers were reminded, is equally important in protecting individual officers, the Service and its mission.
Every officer was therefore encouraged to be an ambassador of APS, upholding professionalism, courtesy, integrity and respect both on and off duty. The central message was clear: customer service is not only about how we receive and assist members of the public, but also an extra mile is reflected on how we communicate, protect information, treat others and represent the Service wherever we are. As APS joins the nation in marking Customer Service Week, every interaction is an opportunity to build confidence, strengthen trust and demonstrate that service excellence begins with the officer.
Happy Customer Service Week!
