Motto Service with Dignity Core Values Justice Integrity Equity Participation Accountal Openness Civility Second Edition, 2020FOREWORD The 21" Century policing environment is dynamic and complex. Such dynamism and complexity calls for a broader engagement with key stakeholders with a view of synergizing effort, resources and strategies necessary for achieving secure and safer communities. It is in this context that Community Policing comes handy: to bring together policing authorities and community members; participate in joint problem identification and forge workable strategies for efficient and effective resolution of security and safety problems afflicting them. As service delivery in major industries is being practised in a people- centred approach, police services across the world are no exception. Customer satisfaction achieved through efficient and effective service delivery is what each enterprise is yearning for in order to remain afloat in the market. In policing circles, each client requires and even demands quality services. Officers are duty bound by their calling, constitutional impetus as well as other laws to offer such services to the satisfaction required. Unless there is a close bond between the provider and the consumer of a service, its provision and enjoyment cannot be easily realized. The bond referred to here is partnership between the two. This manual, being the second edition, has been designed as an easy to use guide for practitioners of community policing at all levels. The illustrations are intended to build a clear comprehension by the reader of what community policing is and how it can be practised in real life situations. Further the size allows the officers to carry them anywhere and anytime thus providing an easy reference whenever it is needed. It is worth noting that there is no straight jacket in the implementation of community policing operations. Each community is distinct and therefore require a tailor-made approach that best suits them. In this regard, officers are called upon to understand the profile of each community in order to discern the approach that fits them. In one instance, committee approach works well but in other situations, officers may adopt forums or activity based approaches. Gd| hereby take this opportunity to sincerely thank all officers and our supportive partners for their time, effort and resources they have put forward for preparation of this booklet. Your efforts in the development of this document mean a lot to policing and security in general. FINALLY, | urge all officers of the Service to embrace and apply community policing as first line style of policing and together we can improve security and safety in our country. x Hilary N- Mutyambai, M.G.H., nsc (AU) Inspector GeneralACKNOWLEDGEMENT | would like to extend my gratitude to the Inspector General of the National Police Service for his commitment to enhancing the implementation of Community Policing in the country.

Over the last two decades, we have assisted over 5,000 victims of torture, cruel, degrading and inhuman treatment through the support of our national networks of professionals: doctors, trauma counsellors, lawyers, human rights monitors and journalists. As part of IMLU’s strategic plan to support the reforms agenda and development of social capital and nurturing strategic alliances, we have established a strategic partnership with the National Police Service to support efforts aimed at transformation of the Service. This booklet has been developed as a collaborative effort with the Directorate of Reforms of the National Police Service. We remain grateful for the valuable inputs from the officers that were part of the project.

What is Community Policing? Community Policing is founded on the development of partnerships between the police and the communities they serve to address issues of security and social disorder. The partnerships are focused on delivery of policing services that combine aspects of traditional law enforcement, crime prevention, and problem-solving. The practice of Community Policing in Kenya seeks to expand the partnership to all other Government Agencies, the private sector, Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) and the civil society. The overall goal is to improve public safety and the quality of life for all persons within the Country. What is Nyumba Kumi? “Nyumba Kumi” is a Swahili phrase meaning ten households, though not literally. The Nyumba Kumi clusters cut across the various shades of society regardless of creed, political persuasion, ethnicity, race, gender or any other similar affiliation. Nyumba Kumi provides a framework that anchors Community Policing at the household/basic level. The concept is aimed at bringing Kenyans together in clusters defined by physical locations, felt needs and the pursuit of a common ideal of a safe, sustainable and prosperous neighborhood. Why Community Policing? Over the years, policing in Kenya has been characterized by law enforcement that gives primary emphasis to crime control through reactive policing practices. This policing model has attracted consistent condemnation from the Kenyan society. Towards the end of 20» century, many governments world over began the practice of engaging community members with the police to address recurring and emerging Cc)crime and disorder. In Kenya, Community Policing was officially launched in the year 2005 by the then President, H.E Mwai Kibaki. It had varying levels of success and failures. Further, the 2010 constitution provides for democratic policing by way of engaging the broader community in security issues throughout the Country. Community Policing recognizes: v ¥ That Police as an agency is not the sole custodian of national security. The expansion of police mandate beyond the routine crime control. That crime is predominantly local in nature. That the police should be part of the community but not apart from it. That policing practice is by consent but not coercion. The tailoring of policing business to meet the community’s security felt needs That local community is best placed in understanding their security concerns; and The need to establish and retain police legitimacy by upholding the rule of law.O PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY POLICING i. Trust/ Confidentiality Community policing exposes stakeholders to a wide range of information that may be useful in decision making. Therefore, any information obtained should be handled in a way that strikes the right balance between an individual’s privacy and community’s safety. This includes action on, and feedback given. Breach of confidentiality can result in reduced trust in the police by the community. ii. Commitment Commitment refers to adherence to values and beliefs that guide an organization and the behavior of its employees. In Community Policing, officers’ obligations to duty and common decision generate public trust. Police officers’ attitude toward their work and meeting pledges to the public are key in winning public trust. These determine response behavior of the local communities in the process of problem identification and information sharing.

Teamwork Teamwork in Community Policing means working together to forecast, identify, prevent and investigate criminal conducts. This includes the synergy to resolve problems that arise at work and in the community. Everyone’s input is significant in making decisions and in implementing agreed upon actions. Positive Police attitudes have a more lasting impact than words and engender trust and respect. iv. Volunteerism Citizens are encouraged to participate in community policing in order to promote public safety and security. The police are only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence. Consequently, it’s a civic responsibility for every citizen to spare their energy, time and resources for the maintenance of a peaceful living environment. Thus, stakeholders’ participation in Community Policing activities is free and shall not attract any monetary or other benefits. v. Accountability Police officers shall be held liable for actions or inactions taken by them while responding to concerns raised by the citizen whether individually or as an entity. Similarly, community members should be encouraged to be genuine every time they share or offer their service to the police and other partners in a given Community Policing area.0 LEGAL FRAMEWORK Article 244 (e) of the Constitution provides that the police shall foster and promote relationships with the broader society.
