Abstract
This study sought to examine how the implementation process of the training policy affects
police professional development. The study was steered by Herzberg’s Theory. The study used
stratified random sampling and a descriptive survey approach. Within Isiolo County, the target
population was 300 Administration Police Officers. Four categories were used to classify the
target population: Inspectorate members, Gazetted officers (GOs), Constables, and
Noncommissioned officers (NCOs). There were 90 police officers in the sample. To gather the
primary data, structured interview questions and secondary data from library research were
used. The collected data was arranged according to the study questions and particular goals by
coding, tabulating, and interpreting. The findings on how the implementation process of the
training policy and professional police development relates, show that there was a positive and
statistically significant effect of the implementation process of the training policy on the
professional police development of Police officers (r=0.631; p<0.05). This showed that a unit
change in the implementation process of the training policy leads to 63.1% change in
professional police development among police officers. The study came to the following
conclusions: standardize the learning delivery across all forces, particularly the initial learning
for newly recruited officers; make basic training to develop knowledge and awareness
mandatory for all police; institutionalize strategy-supportive practices and operating
regulations throughout the organization. The study recommended that the Isiolo County CIPU
Headquarters develop and implement effective training systems and that the curricula be
enhanced to cover best practices to manage known vices and malpractices.
