The Community Policing Programme – CSC Capacity Building

Through the strengthening of civil security societies, the project aims to bridge the gap between the police and the community, through its mobilization of local community leaders and other civilian stakeholders. Regular dialogue sessions are held with police units, concerning everyday problems of safety and community wellbeing, together with creative and inclusive measures that could be put in place to prevent reoccurrences of crime.  The project is piloted in Kantale (spanning 90 GN divisions). Till date, three community-policing networks have been established, and have put in place strategies to address diverse issues such as drug abuse, theft, domestic violence and wildlife poaching.
