The study concluded that there is the relationship between religious coexistence among police officers in the barracks. Religion is a determinant for peaceful coexistence among police officers in the barracks and peaceful coexistence among police officers is as a result of religious understanding among them. Conflict in the barracks can be as a result of religious misunderstanding and tolerance among police officers may be as a result of religious coexistence in the barracks.
