The Kenya Police have operational procedures that may not be apparent to the public.

For instance, it is a tradition in the force to use the word 'Roger' to indicate a message has been heard and understood. 

Despite Captain Rodgers being in the limelight in 1896, Kapur Singh from India was the most celebrated police commander. He left a mark that cannot be erased anytime soon.
