The current study assessed the state of welfare condition of the Nigeria Police Force. The
study utilized in-depth interview supplemented with computer based literature and found that
welfare condition of men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force is not encouraging. This
study found that the inability of the police in Nigeria to effectively resolved crimes and
perform their law enforcement duties efficiently are related to the poor welfare condition
which has sapped the morale of the personnel of the agency. This study therefore
recommends that the prevailing welfare condition of the personnel of the Nigeria Police
Force should be improved upon. It is also a finding of this study that the police should be
adequately equipped to enable the agency to effectively carry out their duties and
responsibilities to the citizens. The findings are significant as they show that in emerging
democratic societies like Nigeria, improvement in the welfare condition of the police through
necessary reforms is a perquisite for stable democratic system
