The Uganda Police Force (@PoliceUg) released its 2025 Annual Crime Report, shedding light on the significant contributions made by its canine unit in the fight against crime. The report underscores the unit’s exceptional performance, highlighting its critical role in tracking suspects, supporting investigations, and enhancing public safety across the country.
According to the report, the canine unit successfully tracked a total of 20,978 cases throughout 2025. This remarkable figure reflects the growing reliance on trained police dogs in crime detection and response, particularly in complex investigations where human-led efforts alone may fall short.
The unit’s efforts led to the arrest of thousands of suspects, including 13,981 male adults, 714 male juveniles, 1,183 female adults, and 29 female juveniles. These arrests demonstrate the unit’s wide operational reach and effectiveness in handling diverse cases involving individuals across different age groups and backgrounds.
Out of the total arrests, 6,033 suspects were successfully prosecuted, marking a significant step toward justice and accountability. Additionally, the canine teams played a vital role in recovering 7,262 exhibits, further strengthening criminal cases and aiding in the judicial process.
The achievements outlined in the report are a testament to the dedication, discipline, and professionalism of the canine unit and their handlers. Their work not only supports law enforcement operations but also builds public confidence in the police force’s ability to combat crime effectively.
As the Uganda Police Force continues to modernize and strengthen its capabilities, the canine unit stands out as a key pillar in maintaining law and order. Their contributions in 2025 have set a high standard and serve as an inspiration for continued excellence in the years ahead.
A heartfelt appreciation goes out to the canine unit for their outstanding service and commitment throughout 2025. Their tireless efforts have made a meaningful difference in ensuring safer communities across the nation. @igp_ug1@GCICsecurity@Tom_Magambo@bamunoba24

Exposed; A source at one of the top Non-Governmental Organisations in Kampala informed this blog that most of these sanctions are lobbied by US-funded NGOs that serve The US’ interests. Nicholas Opio, founder and owner of Chapter4 Uganda, an LGBTQ advocacy NGO, was allegedly cited as one of those prominent individuals who had this arm under the @JoeBiden regime.
For the Commissioner General of Prisons (@jbyabs), it is understood that his sanctions originated from a time when LGBTQ Ugandans were sent to Luzira during COVID times and had to be strip-searched, which is within the Nelson Mandela rules on minimum standards of human treatment of prisoners before entering prison, just like any other inmates, which Nicholas Opio considered a violation of their human rights. The COVID restrictions on visiting prisoners, which were for the prisoners’ benefit, not to get infected, were also considered a violation of human rights, which is strange considering the fact that the entire country was under lockdown.
Please note that Joe Biden’s regime was pro LGBTQ, hence the sanctions that came in handy after lobbying by some Ugandan NGO owners that were pro LGBTQ AND SERVING THE WEST’s interests.
This came as a shocker to many for a man who is known to have effected the most changes in the prison system to uphold the human rights of prisoners in Uganda.
Before he became the Commissioner General, the word prison was an abomination in Uganda; it was thought to be a place of death, but currently, we have people who are even willing to commit crimes and serve their sentences because it is no longer the feared place that people used to know.
The US sanctions on African leaders, like Uganda’s Prisons Commissioner General Johnson Byabashaija @jbyabs, raise concerns about serving external interests. These sanctions may be driven by US-funded NGOs pushing specific agendas (e.g., LGBTQ+ rights) rather than genuine human rights promotion.
African leaders should evaluate these sanctions critically, prioritize sovereignty, and engage with the US to address unfair sanctions. The international community should ensure sanctions promote transparency, fairness, and human rights, not external influence.
