Police embark on restructuring to enhance crime response

In a bid to bolster security, the Uganda Police Force is set to roll out a new sub-county policing model.

This move, announced by the Director of Operations, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Frank Mwesigwa, will involve closing existing police posts and consolidating them into single, well-equipped sub-county police stations.

"The new model will have each sub-county with one centralised police station, staffed with 18 personnel and three motorcycles for patrolling," AIGP Mwesigwa explained during the commissioning of the new Central Police Station in Ntoroko District on Tuesday.

He emphasised that this restructuring aims to address concerns about inadequate staffing levels in police posts, particularly in Ntoroko District, which comprises six sub-counties and four town councils. The new model will establish 10 police stations, managed by 180 personnel.
