The police force in Tanzania is a National body that falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs and is lead by the Inspector General of Police. The Tanzania Police Force (TPF) is divided into five departments, which fall under the control of individual Commissioners.The departments are as follows:
- Administration and resource management;
- Operations;
- Criminal investigation;
- Dar es Salaam Special Police Zone; and
- Zanzibar police.
Further, the mandate of the TPF is to:
- Maintain law and order;
- Protect life and property; and
- Prevent, detect and investigate crime.
Oversight of the police is conducted both internally and externally, with internal disciplinary procedures conducted by way of tribunals and other measures by the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Police and the Inspector-General of Police. Although private citizens are allowed to lay complaints against individual members at police stations, internal oversight mechanisms are not considered effective given the lack of transparency in proceedings and the dis-incentive to lodge complaints.
The Tanzania Police Force has announced youth employment opportunities for JKT / JKU graduates present at the Camps JKT / JKU with Form Four, Form Six, Diploma and Degree.
