World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI) survey has ranked Kenya Police Service as the third worst in the world.
The survey carried out jointly by International Police Science Association (IPSA) and the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) put Nigeria at the bottom of the list followed by Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with neighboring country, Uganda taking the fourth worst police service.
“WISPI measures the ability of the police and other security providers to address internal security issues in 127 countries across four domains, using sixteen indicators,” authors of the report state.
The survey takes into considerations four main factors including capacity, process, legitimacy and outcomes while ranking various police services across the globe.
Kenya police poor ranking comes amid reports of increased police brutality and killings of innocent protesters. Police in Kenya have been accused of using excessive force especially while quelling violent protests.
Botswana was ranked the best in Africa and was position 47 in the world, while Rwandan police was second best in Africa (50th in the world) followed by Algeria (58th), Senegal (68th) and Tunisia (72nd) in that order.
Singapore, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland occupied the top 10 positions in that order.

Certainly this is not a ranking the police boss could be proud of. If Botswana can have a respected police force so could we.
Yes, sometimes you have to use force to calm a situation and put it under control,but kicking someone who is helpless as shown in the picture,amounts to abuse of power.The cop should be punished.How could a grown man be proud of kicking another human being like that?
I dont know what kind of training they get,but surely police can neutralize a bad situation by not injuring the offenders intentionally,by kicking and clubbing.
All bad rankings are in africa,this is not racism.some of us still behave like savages.

With two very incompetent people in power (Uhuru and Ruto), what do you expect?
We need an ad hoc government in Kenya for about six months in power. Uhuru himself has admitted that he cannot curb corruption, making Kenya the fourth most corrupt country in the world.
They (Uhuru and Ruto) should not be sworn as the next leaders of Kenya. They Should be sent back to their former careers before Toroitich groomed them to continue with his dictatorial and corrupt based government.
