This study is guided by the problem-oriented policing (POP) conceptual framework which regards the work of the police as an extraordinary complex situation that requires pragmatic consideration because of its puzzling nature. The POP, developed by Goldstein (1990), is a useful guide for this study because the study is exploring into the complex nature of crime on the continent of Africa that requires police cooperation to combat. Consultative meetings of governments on the African continent to seek peace and security on the continent, since the formation of OAU, have led to the formation of regional associations with a major aim of coming out with a common security force to counteract the activities of criminals on the continent (Rechner, 2006). The regional unions include the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the East African Community (EAC), and the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU). The OAU that metamorphosed to the creation of African Union (AU) in 2002 has contributed to the deployment of regional forces to embark on stabilization missions to countries in the regions ravaged by civil wars and other crimes. For example, in the 1990s, ECOWAS deployed a monitoring group (ECOMOG) that helped to curb the decade of the Liberian Civil War (Lizak, 2016).
