A team of senior officers from the Kampala Extra Region, led by Mr. Bryan Corr Mbaziira, Senior Superintendent of Prisons (OC-Upper Maximum Security Prison), embarked on a familiarization tour at Entebbe International Airport today, hosted by the @PoliceUg Canine Section.
The tour aimed to appreciate the importance of canine units in managing maximum security, particularly in the prison context.
The partnership between the two institutions has been instrumental in training personnel, capacity building, and joint operations.
During the tour, the team learnt from the expertise in deploying canines in various airport areas, including:
- Departure lounge
- Arrivals
- Baggage loading area
- Cargo
They saw firsthand how canines are effectively utilized in detecting and preventing security threats.
The officers were drawn from prisons like; Upper, Murchison Bay, Kampala Remand, Kigo, Luzira Women, Kitalya Mini Max, Canine Section and Safety and Security Unit. The Prisons canine section has proven effective in day-to-day prison operations, including detecting contraband, tracking escapees, conducting searches, patrols and guarding prison premises.
