This discussion assessed the effects of leadership training and development on the performance of police officers in the Serengeti District, Mara Region. The data were collected through questionnaires administered to 113 respondents, all of whom were police officers from the Serengeti Police Station. The data collected through questionnaires, the findings were analyzed based on the study's three specific research objectives. The first objective was to determine the impact of law enforcement training on the performance of police officers in Serengeti. The second objective focused on assessing the effect of ethical training on police performance. The third objective aimed to evaluate the influence of crisis management training on the performance of police officers in Serengeti. The findings show varied results in law enforcement training for Serengeti police officers. While many officers report better understanding of the law, improved crisis management, and stronger ethical leadership, a significant number remain neutral or dissatisfied. On how officers view these benefits the study highlight the need for better training. By adding more real life examples, hands-on scenarios, and focused crisis prevention strategies, the training can be improved to better serve all officers and boost performance, ethical conduct, and community relations. The study recommended refining training programs by including practical scenarios and real-life applications to better meet the diverse needs of officers. It also suggested enhancing collaboration training to improve teamwork and problem-solving. Keywords: Law enforcement training, ethical leadership, crisis management, police performance, training improvement
