Community Services Division (CSD)

Community Services division (CSD) is a contemporary unit in the Zambia Police structure aimed at integrating the Zambia Police Service with communities so as to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in the dispensation of police duties. This is done through effective awareness campaigns as a proactive measure of policing the community. The service cannot work in isolation as the perpetrators of crime are part of the community. Therefore, people in a particular community are better placed in knowing who their deviants are since they live with them. The department has five units namely: victim Support Unit, Community Safety, School liaison, Chaplaincy and child protection units. The child protection unit was established in 2006 to supplement he efforts of Victim Support Unit.
