Public perception of the police can help to foster a better relationship between the police and the public therefore, understanding immigrants’ perception of the police goes a long way in fostering the relationship. This study explored the perception of the Nigerian Immigrant community towards the Irish police in the context of racism and discrimination, it sought to know what the perception was and if experience with the Nigeria police force affected this relationship. A semi structured interview was done with 10 participants who are resident in Dublin for more than 6 months and not more than ten years. The themes discovered during the thematic analysis of the interview include professionalism, cultural differences, little/no representation, mistrust and difference in experience. The findings of this research reveal that the Nigerian Immigrant community in Dublin do not perceive the police as racist and discriminatory but rather as lacking in cultural understanding of the Nigerian people. Also, their previous experience with the Nigeria police which is largely negative does not affect their perception but rather their interaction with the Irish police. The results of this study are examined in light of previous research and recommendations are discussed.
