Abstract
First and foremost is to thank the Almighty God for the good health, wisdom, strength, support and knowledge that enabled the researcher surpass all trials and challenges along the way. Special gratitude to my employer, the KDF, for not only granting me the financial back-up but also affording me a conducive environment and time to complete my studies within the stipulated timeframe. Similarly, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my Supervisor Dr. Linnet Hamasi Henry (PhD) for her invaluable guidance and enduring mentorship across the research journey. I will forever be indebted for her patience, motivation, enthusiasm and immense knowledge despite the frequent interruptions occasioned by work-related exigencies. Appreciations also go to the University’s academic research work defence panellists for their input and guidance, which led to a fine-tuned final product.
Additionally, I wish to thank my colleagues for the physical, moral, emotional and spiritual support especially when the call of duty came in the midst of the research process. Special thanks to the Multi-Agency Joint Operation Centre Staff members at National Police Service Headquarters for the coordination with ground security forces in the target area and for facilitating the sorting, consolidation and printing of data collection instruments before my departure to the field. My immediate family comprising my lovely wife Janet and two sons, Abel and Darion were the bedrock of my studies. Furthermore, let me not forget to most sincerely credit my elder brother Edward Kilimo, who hails from the target area and who sacrificed his time and resources to help the researcher administer the data collection instruments. Last but not least is to appreciate all and sundry for every little role they played to ensure the successful completion of this noble cause.
