This study investigated the influence of community policing on incidences of criminal activities in low income areas of Nakuru Town in Kenya. In this study, only the criminal activities of theft and break-ins were studied. Cross-sectional survey research design was used. The target population was all the residents in four low income areas of Nakuru Town having a combined population of 252,762. A total of 156 respondents participated. The respondents were drawn purposively from each of the four low income areas of Nakuru Town. A questionnaire was used to gather information from the residents. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (r) statistic at a =0.05 level of significance. The results obtained from some of the areas gave statistically significant influence of community policing on incidences of theft and break-ins in low income areas of Nakuru Town. There also appears to be no statistically significant influence of community policing on incidences of theft and break-ins in some areas. This implies that community policing is not working uniformly in the areas studied. The findings from this study inform the county government of Nakuru and Kenya at large, on whether community policing which was introduced to reduce and prevent crimes has actually had an influence in the frequency of occurrence of the most prevalent crimes (theft and break-ins).
