    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, after the inception of community policing in 2005, the Commissioner of Police officially established the Directorate of Community Policing (DCP) in May 2006 with a mandate to address matters pertaining to community policing. Since the establishment of the DCP in May 2006, the concept of community policing has been rolled out in the provinces in 218 police stations. A total of 73 districts have so far been covered with sensitization workshops having been held for community policing committee members, members of the Kenya Police and the Administration Police, district officers, chiefs, assistant chiefs and other stakeholders. Training in community policing has already been adopted in the police-training curriculum at the Kenya Police College, Kiganjo, and at the Administration Police Training College (APTC). The Government is in the process of finalizing a policy document on community policing which will soon be presented to the Cabinet for approval. Meanwhile, a community policing handbook has been published and it is currently under distribution in the districts. Both the policy and the handbook are geared towards standardizing community policing strategies within the Kenyan Police, AP and the Provincial Administration."
