The focus of this study is to assess SSR in Ethiopia with a particular reference to the Amhara Regional Police Force. The SSR in Ethiopia was adopted since 2002 under the authority of the Ministry of Capacity Building (today’s Ministry of Public Service and Human Resource Development). The central objective of this study was to explore the current implementations, challenges and limitations of SSR in the Amhara Regional State Police Commission. The researcher employed qualitative research method and case study research design. The data was collected from primary and secondary sources. The participants of this study were selected via purposive sampling. A total of 28 participants were participated in the study. The findings of the study show that SSR is currently implemented in the Amhara Regional State Police Commission having different forms. But, it is not in a position to improve the performance and service delivery of police force. The finding of the study also shows that the measures taken by the Commission and stakeholders to improve the reform program and service delivery of police are inadequate. Particularly the roles of civil societies are curtailed in the ANRS Police Commission because of the 2009 Charities and Societies Proclamation adopted by the Ethiopian government. The study also identified the major challenges of reform program and these are political interference, lack of competent leadership and lack of human and material resource. Lastly, the study suggested recommendations to improve the reform programs in general and service delivery of police in particular. Hence, recommendations are forwarded to the ANRS Police Commission, Stakeholders (to the ANRS Administrative and Security Affairs Bureau and BDU), and to the ANRS Council.
