This study assessed the challenges facing recruiting practices at Tanzania Police School - Moshi. Institutional theory was used in this study. The employed a case study research design, a mixed approach, and included a population of 3,000 enrolled police officers. To do this, the study collected primary data via interviews and closed-ended questionnaires, as well as secondary data from document reviews, using both basic random and purposive sampling techniques. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software, while qualitative data from interview responses were subjected to content analysis. Findings revealed that administrative and logistical challenges and limited resources hinder the efficient execution of the recruitment process to a very large extent. As a recommendation, the study suggests that the institution should establish a dedicated committee or task force to address and mitigate these challenges. Also, future research endeavors should explore the relationship between actively seeking candidates from diverse cultural backgrounds and its potential impact on police behaviour and community relations.
