Why Community Policing Is The Much Needed Game Changer In Kenya 

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 20, 2022- Community policing is becoming increasingly popular in Kenya as a way to improve overall security and respect for human rights. 

This approach, which involves collaboration and partnership between police and community members, has been successfully implemented in many other countries around the world.

If properly implemented in Kenya, community policing could be a game-changer in addressing the nation’s longstanding security challenges.

Community policing is grounded in the belief that police can work more effectively in partnership with community members. 

It is a collaborative approach that involves community members actively participating in the identification and resolution of crime and security challenges. 

This approach helps to improve trust between the police and the community, reduces crime and ultimately strengthens the community’s ability to tackle security threats.

In Kenya, community policing has been recognized as an important approach to reducing crime and improving security. It has already been implemented in some parts of the country and has shown signs of working. 

With proper implementation, community policing can significantly contribute to improving the overall security sector in Kenya.

Human rights organizations in Kenya have openly expressed their support for community policing.

They believe that it can help to foster a more harmonious relationship between the police and the community, ultimately reducing police brutality and unnecessary use of force. 

Community policing can also help to promote human rights, as police work in partnership with the community to identify and combat human rights abuses.

In conclusion, community policing has the potential to improve the overall security and respect for human rights in Kenya. 

By working together, the police and community can identify and address crime and other security challenges.

With the support of human rights organizations, community policing can help to promote a more equitable and just security sector in Kenya.

 It is important that the Kenyan government invests in community policing, and provide the necessary resources to ensure its successful implementation.
