dc.description.abstractCommunity policing is viewed as an initiative or a tool to curb crime in Kenya. As a result, studies have concentrated on community policing and crime management in society while disregarding the part it plays in resolving disputes between the police and the communities. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess community policing in resolution of disputes in Kiambu County, Kenya. The findings from regression analysis shows that there was a significant and positive relationship between nature of Community Policing and dispute resolution (β=0.237, p≤0.05); there was a significant relationship between effectiveness of the community policing and dispute resolution, This in essence means that as Community Policing becomes more effective, dispute resolution becomes more effective (β=0.611, p≤0.05); Community Policing measures had a significant and positive relationship with dispute resolution (β=0.042, p≥0.05). The study concludes that community policing has a significant influence on dispute resolution in Kiambu County. The study recommends that the community should be sensitized on their role in dispute resolution, given incentives like airtime to communicate and provided with the information and abilities necessary to execute community policing
