Security is a major pillar for sustainable peace, unity and development. In the year 2000, when Rwanda National Police (RNP) was created, it started off with a new approach – a proactive community-oriented policing shifting from the traditionally reactive system that instead created a gap between security institutions and the population, with the latter viewing the former as an oppressor.
Like in other provinces of Rwanda, community policing has played a significant part in ensuring security and peace in the Northern Province. The region in composed of five districts – Musanze, Gakenke, Gicumbi, Burera and Rulindo – with 89 Sectors. At least RNP has a Police station in each of the sectors.
