Operational efficiency in regard to the crime is hampered by low number of police patrols in relation to the civilian, hence poor corporate image of the police force which is an enlisted with maintaining law and order. The main purpose of the study was to assess the impact of monitoring and evaluation practices on the implementation of community policing programs in Nairobi City County. The specific objectives were to examine effect of technical expertise, stakeholder involvement and management participation on implementing of community policing in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The target population comprised community leaders, National Police Service, citizens, religious leaders, business community and households that have been impacted by the community policing programs.

The data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics. A regression model was also run to be able to provide information about the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables. The study established that technical expertise, stakeholder involvement and management participation had a positive and significant effect on implementing community policing programs in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The study concluded that technical expertise enables the employees gain self-confidence that they have the knowledge and competence to perform their daily tasks to the best of their ability for effective implementation of projects. The involvement of designees lead to empowerment and joint ownership of the project ensuring that project plans are a reflection of real needs and priorities. The top management is responsible for allocating funds, assigning personnel and equipment to the project, and creating a context to facilitate the flow of resources towards effective implementation of community policing. The study recommended that the project managers involved in the implementation of community policing must be highly organized and able to keep meticulous track of every aspect of every project. The organization should first identify stakeholders so that a large list is generated which will be preferred later in the process of implementing community policing. The management should encourage project managers to actively engage with projects by responding to requests, help resolve conflicts, and respond consistently. The study findings would be important to stakeholders such as the National Police Service, non-governmental organizations, community leaders and households on how to improve community policing and reduce crime rates in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The findings would also provide insight on challenges faced by Kenya in adopting the use of monitoring and evaluation practices in community policing programs and also serve as a reference for future research.en_US
