Four officers were critically injured and one is still missing.
The station, which was among key installations destroyed by the floods after heavy rains, was left an unrecognisable shell of itself, with only debris standing guard.
Bullet-proof vests were also found hundreds of metres away.
A police report seen by the Informer indicates that 17 G3 and one AK47 riffle are missing together with 1,260 rounds of ammunition had been swept away when disaster struck on Saturday.
West Pokot county police commander Jackson Tumwet warned the public against taking the advantage of the floods to take the firearms.
