Policing Insight 24/4/2025 Advertisement, Feature Police bureaucratization and ‘selectivity’ of law enforcement: digging deeper into senior officers’ occupational attitudes Limited studies explore how police bureaucratic frameworks shape officers’ discretionary power. Based on bureaucratic management and institutional theories, we examine the influence of bureaucratization on police officers’ disposition toward selective enforcement. Using a phenomenological design, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 senior Kenya Police Service (KPS) officers and analyzed the data thematically. We find that rigid hierarchical structures, structural complexities, formalized procedures, and centralized command systems often constrain discretionary policing. Selective enforcement, while usually indispensable in resource-limited policing contexts like Kenya, remains an unofficial and precarious practice due to institutional and public expectations. Furthermore, the inherent discretionary nature of selective enforcement may intersect adversely with public perceptions of corruption, especially when operational decisions are not transparently communicated. Within the limitations of this study, we argue for balanced reforms that enhance accountability while preserving operational flexibility to improve police responsiveness. The findings have broader relevance for police reforms in similarly structured jurisdictions globally.

This study examines situation awareness during these incidents, focusing on how officers transition from less confrontational approaches to more confrontational, life-saving tactics. Using qualitative research based on observations from six active shooter training exercises, the study highlights key factors such as information, experience, and shared mental models that influence situation awareness. The findings reveal that while officers are willing to take risks, they often struggle to adopt the necessary speed and dominance needed to neutralize the threat effectively.
