It is important to note that those most affected by insecurity, the public, have for a long time
in the past not engaged the police directly in how security is provided to them. Due to
changing circumstances of communities and shifting characteristics of crime and violence
that affect the communities, policing practices that worked in the past have not remained
effective in the near past. This is what necessitated that practice of community policing
among other factors. Even before formal policing came into existence communities were
involved in providing their own security through various means.
The study focuses on national security and community policing as concepts, the structures
and mechanisms of national security as well as the relationship between national security and
community policing. The study also looks at emerging issues related to community policing.
In carrying out the study secondary data from books and journals as well as internet sources
were used. Primary data collected through Interviews and questionnaire was also included.
