Since firing Salim Babu, Police who have since been under the tutelage of Burundian tactician Etienne Ndayiragije made it three wins in a row after former Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna scored a brace.
David Odhiambo put the Law Enforcers ahead in the 14th minute before Muguna made sure Police took a comfortable 2-0 into the break when he found the back of the net two minutes to half time.
In the final half, Muguna completed his brace to seal a 3-0 win for Police.
The Burundian tactician begun his reign with a 3-1 win over Nairobi City Stars on December 4 before narrowly edging out Mara Sugar 1-0 over the weekend.
