Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges to effective crime control and management by the Nigerian Police Force in Kabong, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria. The study indicates that the Nigerian Police has been playing a vital role in the fight against crimes and other security challenges. However, its efforts have not yielded the much-needed peace and security because of weak cooperation that exists between the force and the public. Based on the findings of this study, it was however recommended among others, that the police force should foster and strengthen community engagement, as well as articulate continuous evaluation and improvement in the Police Force. The government on its part must be actively involved in affairs of the Nigerian Police by providing adequate funding. This will help in addressing some of the challenges facing the Nigerian Police.
