A company is led by a company commander who is a superior police officer and a platoon is headed

by a platoon commander who is a subordinate police officer (a chief inspector and at times an inspector).

Kamfinsa Mobile Unit has five companies of which each company is having five platoons.The platoons

rotate from one operational area to the other. These rotations are done every three months and sometimes

depend on the operation order and other administrative logistics.

After a shift from Police Force to Police Service, the unit started recruiting women into the training

school after the introduction of human rights and gender equality programmes. Mobile Unit trains

officers to feed all the stations and divisions which do not have training institutions. The unit retains some

officers which it uses to reinforce officers e other divisions where need may arise.Until now, the units’ major

responsibility is restoring order in distressed situation hence its name School of Public Order Maintenance

(SPOM).

The unit responds to situations such as riots, demonstrations and any other situation that may place the

security of the country at stake. Officers found at SPOM are well trained to quell such situations

with utmost professionalism.

The Unit is currently commanded by a Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police.
