dc.description.abstract	Logistic reforms are key in dealing with threats to barriers that hinder operational performance. However, in the recent past the reforms seem not to be quite efficient given the rise in the crime rate in Vihiga County. This study sought to establish the influence of logistic reforms on the operational performance of the national police service in Vihiga County, Kenya. The specific objectives for the study were to determine the influence of police escort rationalization on operational performance in the National police service in Vihiga County, Kenya., to establish the influence of integrated communication command and control on operational performance in the National police service in Vihiga County, Kenya, to ascertain the influence of police vehicle hiring on the operational performance of the National police service in Vihiga County, Kenya, and to determine the influence of multi-agency team operations, approach on the operational performance of National Police Service in Vihiga County, Kenya. This study was guided by the theory of replacement, Paradox theory, and systems theory. The study used positivism research philosophy in choosing the methods, research instruments and techniques. A descriptive survey research design was employed where primary data was collected. A target population of 740 police officers was used, and from this number, a sample size of 260 respondents was computed through Yamane’s formula. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics was used. The results of the regression analysis showed that police escort rationalization, integrated communication command and control, police vehicle and multiagency team operations had a positive significant influence on operational performance (cost reduction) with coefficients of 0.210, 0.149, 0.190, 0.124 and p values of 0.000, 0.010, 0.05 and 0.01 respectively which are less than 0.05. The study concluded that improvement of police escort rationalization, integrated communication command and control, police vehicle rationalization and multi-agency team operations improve the operational performance by increasing operation efficiency of police service in Vihiga County. The findings have a direct benefit on managers of police services and policy makers to enable them put strategies in place to improve the logistic reforms on operational performance.
