Abstract
In Kenya, the number of police officers accessing loans has been increasing significantly from only 12,000 officers in the year 2000 to 32,000 in the year 2012. Out of these only 62% are able to utilise properly the loans and able to repay within the prescribed time and therefore this tremendous increase does not match well on with its efficiency .The concept of police officer’s loan utilisation has not been fully described and analysed.Therefore, this study was aimed at analysing the factors affecting loan utilisation among Administration Police Officers. Specifically, the study investigated the effect of frequent transfer of police officers on loan utilisation, the effect of investment site on loan utilisation, the effect of officer investment knowledge on loan utilisation and the effect of employers support on loan utilisation. The study was informed by theory of self-efficacy. The study target population was 1,474 police officers in Nakuru county.
