NewsWeekPRO IG Kanja Leads Police Delegation to Israel’s DroneTech Expo By: Joseph Muraya Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya- Inspector-General of the National Police Service Douglas Kanja is leading a Kenyan delegation to the UVID DroneTech Expo 2026 in Tel Aviv, Israel, as the country engages with global developments in unmanned systems and security technology.

The conference and exhibition brings together participants from the civil, security and defence sectors to discuss drone technology, autonomous systems and their applications.

Kanja is attending the event alongside the Commandant of the General Service Unit, Johana Tonui, National Police Service Director of Planning Richard Lesasuiyan and Ministry of Interior and National Coordination officials William Oduor and Peter Munywoki, among other delegates.

According to the National Police Service, the delegation began its engagements on Wednesday, November 11, with a visit to the MATPA Unit, a special combat and tactical unit of the Israel Police.

The team was also hosted by the Israel National Police Academy, where it learned about the integration of technology into law-enforcement training.

The visit focused on how technology can support the preparation of officers for evolving policing and security environments, as law-enforcement agencies worldwide increasingly adopt digital tools, surveillance systems, data-driven operations and unmanned platforms.

Kanja and the delegation later held bilateral talks with David Katz, the Head of the Interpol National Central Bureau at the Israel Police Central Command Office in Jerusalem.

The engagement placed the Kenyan delegation in direct discussions with Israeli police officials on areas linked to law enforcement, security cooperation and the use of technology in policing.

The NPS did not disclose details of any agreements reached during the meetings.

UVID DroneTech is one of Israel’s major unmanned-systems gatherings, bringing together drone manufacturers, government officials, security agencies, investors, researchers, technology firms and law-enforcement representatives.

The 2026 edition is taking place at Expo Tel Aviv and is expected to examine the fast-changing role of drones and autonomous systems across civilian, commercial, security and defence operations.

Organisers say the forum is designed to promote knowledge-sharing and partnerships among institutions developing and operating unmanned systems.

Its programme includes discussions on drone innovation, artificial intelligence, autonomy, communications, cyber protection and the operational use of unmanned aerial systems.

Kanja is listed among the event’s 2026 speakers, placing Kenya’s police leadership at a forum attended by international experts and industry players in the drone ecosystem.

The delegation’s programme in Israel comes as security agencies globally continue to assess how emerging technologies can be applied responsibly to policing, public safety, training and coordinated responses to security threats.
