The framework recognises that winning public trust through better service delivery can be achieved by investing in three pillars: building the capacity, structural reforms and enhanced community engagement. Over time since 2014, promising steps have been taken and observed in K-P police to build better image and gain the trust of citizens. It is therefore necessary for the current government to review the strategic framework, set targets for functional outputs and processes based goals as an agenda for their election manifesto in the next five years. The purpose here is not to undermine the achievements of K-P police in the last four years, but delivery of services is important for gaining public confidence. The objectives of police reforms in K-P should be materialised and widely trickle-down to the general public to promote a society free from fear of crime and injustice.
