Today, I engaged commanders and officers of Savannah Police Region on leveraging public relations as a command tool in modern policing.

We exchanged ideas on how to integrate PR in security operations to impact operational outcomes and public perceptions.

We have taken note of information circulating on social media alleging that H.E. the President has appointed five Assistant Inspectors General of Police.

For the record, the officers referred to in the circulating message were appointed in December 2024 and have since been serving in their respective capacities and executing their normal Police duties.

The message currently being shared is old and misleading, as the Directors mentioned have now been in office for close to two years.

We therefore urge the public to disregard the circulating information and rely on official communication channels for accurate updates.

"I am honored and pleased, at this juncture, to report that following the successful completion of rigorous training, the fears and uncertainties that often accompany such a demanding journey have been overcome, and the expectations of the training programme have been satisfactorily achieved.

The trainees from the two courses graduating today are now fully equipped with the requisite knowledge, skills, attitudes, and professional values required to serve as Police and Immigration officers, ready to faithfully serve their Motherland, Uganda.

More importantly, these graduates have been prepared to understand and appreciate that peace, security, and the rule of law are the bedrock of national development. They have therefore been trained to serve selflessly, uphold integrity, and make meaningful contributions towards the socio-economic transformation and prosperity of Uganda."

📸 25th Police Intake

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

I reminded the graduates that discipline and integrity are the foundation of service. They must reject corruption, safeguard their health, and use modern tools such as forensic science, K9 units and CCTV to defeat crime. Security must also support wealth creation by protecting our people and ensuring every Ugandan joins the money economy. I wish them success as they serve Uganda with patriotism and dedication.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Today at Kabalye, I passed out 9,952 officers comprising the 25th Intake of Probationer Police Constables and the 3rd Intake of the Immigration Officers’ Course. I congratulate them on successfully completing their training and commend the Police leadership and instructors for producing a disciplined force.
