Evolution of the Ivoirian police vehicle fleet and security management in Abidjan (Ivory Coast)

This study aims to analyze the impact of mobility resources allocated to the Ivorian police on security management in Abidjan. To achieve this objective, eighty-nine (89) people, including seventy-eight (78) civilians and eleven (11) police officers, were surveyed. This sample was constituted based on the purposive sampling technique. The mixed method, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, was used to process the data obtained through documentation and surveys. This protocol allowed for results which indicate that the allocation of police vehicles and motorcycles has led to crime prevention through anticipation via patrols, the promptness of interventions, and the reduction of response times to requests to up to 30 minutes.
