Kibabii University was established on 9th September, 2011 by legal notice No. 115 under Masinde Muliro University of science and technology (MMUST). Security department owes its inception to a humble beginning in January 2012 when a few personnel of contracted security firm were deployed on the ground to provide security services and a MMUST staff from security department (Aggrey Shamwama) seconded to oversee their functioning prior to establishment of other functional units in the university college. Due to increase in student and staff population, management strengthened the section by hiring more security personnel and currently the section is headed by Mr. Zablon Mamai.

Safety and security

At Kibabii University Safety and Security is a shared responsibility. Clearly, the best protection against campus crime is being informed, alert, use reason, and caution a strong law-enforcement presence.

It is important that all members of the University community know the role they would play in the event of an emergency. In case of an emergency, it is important to remain calm, be flexible, do not take unnecessary chances, and wear or carry your University ID badge so you can be easily identified.

Kibabii University maintains an active partnership with Bungoma Fire Department in order to ensure compliance to safety. The Department also organizes fire and emergency services trainings for the entire Kibabii community.
