Its home ground was the Afraha Stadium, but due to its unavailability in 2008, the club played its home games at the Greensteds School Grounds.[2]
The club was founded in 1980 and owned by the Kenya Police. In 2000, it won promotion from the Nationwide League to the Premier League, where it stayed until they were relegated at the end of the 2010 season, after which it was disbanded as it was under immense pressure from its sponsors to produce good performances, contrary to the season they had.[3]
