The current head is Mr. George Kinoti It is referred to by the initials DCI. It is headed by a Director who reports to the Inspector General of Police.

At the regional level, there are Regional Criminal Investigations Officers (RCIOs) who are directly responsible to the Director for the effective administration of their respective regions. In every county, the DCI is headed by a County Criminal Investigation Officer (CCIO) who reports to the RCIO. Under CCIOs are the Sub-County Criminal Investigation Officers (SCCIOs) and Officers in-charge of Sub-offices in crime-prone areas. There are 8 regional, 47 County Directorate Offices and 3 Formations (ATPU, KAPU, DCI Academy & Railways) and over 297 Sub-counties countrywide.

Completion of Forensic Science Laboratory Kenya's DCI is tasked primarily with intelligence gathering and evidence collection where crimes of a complex nature have occurred. The accomplishment of the above received a major boost following the completion of the police forensic laboratory. The over ksh 5.7 forensic lab is fully equipped and staffed at a cost estimated at Ksh. 5.7 billion is located at its headquarters at Mazingira House Kiambu Road. The Biological, Chemistry, Toxicological, and DNA laboratories are housed in the newly constructed multi-million shillings National Police Service Forensic Laboratory.
