The partnership between Tanzania Police (TPF) and Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) started since 2007 when Tanzania Police Force and Hanns Seidel Foundation designed and implemented police reforms in Tanzania. The key achievements of this partnership included among others, the establishment of the Community Policing Commission in Tanzania Police Force, whose roles and responsibility are stipulated in the Police General Order (PGO) and incorporation of the community policing program which uses the citizen friendly policing philosophy in the 2020 CCM Manifesto.  CCM being the ruling party in Tanzania has adopted the community policing philosophy in governing the  country which is a milestone for HSF and TPF.
