This study was conducted at the Tanzania Police Force Headquarters in Dar es Salaam.
The objective of the study was to examine the role of the Police Force in combating
threats of terrorism in Tanzania. Primary and secondary data were collected using
quantitative and qualitative techniques. Specific objectives included providing an
overview of the state of terrorism in Tanzania, Examining existing international
collaboration with TPF in combating threats of terrorism and finally to determine the
existing capacities of TPF in term of human resources and financial resources in
combating threats of terrorism. SPSS and Microsoft excel were used in data analysis and
presentation.
A total number of 93 respondents were involved in the study. The methods used in data
collection were interview, questionnaires and documentary review. The findings of the
study revealed that the Tanzania Police Force faces many challenges in combating threats
of terrorism. These include lack of human resources, lack of specialized training, lack of
sufficient funds to deal with terrorism and lack of physical resources. Field result further
indicated that most police officers, who investigate terrorism cases do not have sufficient
knowledge on combating terrorism.
The study therefore recommends specialized training to the majority of the police officers
on terrorism, to a recruit more mobile police force, the government should allocate more
funds to the Police Force, and modern equipment should be provided to the Police Force
so that it can quick response to initial signs of terrorism and to also introduce a ant-terrorist
units all over the country. Increased collaboration with the international
community to combat threats of terrorism is also a necessary requirement for the Tanzania
Police Force in the war against terrorism. |
