The problem
The police force should ideally be a desirable profession for young people due of the chance it gives
young people without jobs, as well as the advantages like free training and less stringent hiring
requirements. The ideal employer for equal opportunity is one that: Young people anticipate fair
employment based on their academic abilities, inventiveness, and physical fitness, truthful
representations, clients' freedom, and a system that is open and transparent. The National Police Service
has made an effort to create a fair recruitment process for the youth who to be admitted to the Police
Service. However, there are some difficulties in finding and hiring these young people. due to the
politicians' interferences, who want only residents of their region to be enlisted for service.

The classical, or structural, theory of public administration typically forbids the existence of numerous
theories and instead focuses on a complex collection of factors, notions, and principles that control public
administration, or state bureaucracy. Several significant topics are associated with the classical theory,
despite the fact that numerous classical authors—the majority of whom wrote in the early 20th century—
include Luther Gulick, Henri Fayol, and Lyndall Urwick.
The same ideas that economists use to examine people's behavior in the marketplace are applied to
people's behavior in collective decision-making by public choice. The primary motivation for people,
according to economists who study behavior in the private market, is self-interest. Although the majority
of individuals occasionally act out of care for others, whether they are employers, employees, or
consumers, a concern for one's own interests drives most people's behavior in the marketplace. Regardless
of whether they are voters, politicians, lobbyists, or bureaucrats, people engaging in the political
marketplace all have some care for others, but their primary motivation is self-interest, according to
public choice economists. The idea, in the words of Buchanan, "replaces romantic and false notions about

sampling technique
Purposive sampling, sometimes referred to as judgmental, selective, or subjective sampling, is a type of
non-probability sampling when researchers choose participants for their survey based on their own
judgment. While simple random selection would be used to select the youth and local government
officials, elders, and adult citizens, purposive sampling was used in the research to select the
commanders, support staff, and school heads. To prevent prejudice and provide respondents an equal
opportunity to become interested in the inquiry, simple random sampling was used.
The Target Population
348 respondents in all were the subject of the study. The police commanders and support staff, high
school principals, students, local government officials, elderly people, and parents in Laikipia comprised
the demographic of interest.
Data analysis tool
Quantitative data were analyzed using a descriptive statistical approach. Inferential statistics were used
for the qualitative analysis. There were two sorts of information in the study:
Descriptive measurements (frequencies and percentages) were used to examine quantitative data, which
was then displayed in graphs, pie charts, and tables. Analysis of qualitative data was done in accordance
with emerging themes and patterns. They were spoken and conveyed in narrative style.
