Uganda Police Launches Inspection Tour in Mid-Western Region to Boost Accountability

4 September 2024

A seven-member team from the Uganda Police Force's Inspectorate Department has embarked on a crucial inspection tour in the mid-western region of Uganda which is led by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Charles Babweteera, the team aims to audit and evaluate police stations to ensure operational effectiveness and enhance service delivery across the region.

The inspection tour, which commenced earlier this week, included visits to key police stations such as Kiryandongo Central Police Station, Bweyale Police Station, and Panyadoli Refugee Camp Police Station. The first day concluded with an inspection of Masindi Central Police Station and its barracks.

This initiative is part of the Uganda Police Force's broader strategy to strengthen accountability and professionalism within the force. By conducting these audits, the Inspectorate Department seeks to identify areas for improvement and ensure that police operations are aligned with the highest standards of public service delivery.

ACP Charles Babweteera emphasized the importance of this initiative, noting that the findings from the inspection will play a significant role in shaping future reforms.

"Our goal is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our police stations, ensuring that they serve the public with integrity and professionalism," Babweteera stated.

He adds that the inspection tour is a vital step in their ongoing efforts to build a police force that the community can trust and rely on.

The inspection tour also reflects the Uganda Police Force's commitment to fostering stronger relationships with the communities they serve.

By addressing operational challenges and improving service delivery, the police hope to rebuild public confidence and reinforce the critical role of law enforcement in maintaining peace and security.

As the tour continues, the Inspectorate Department will compile a comprehensive report that will inform future strategies to enhance police operations, ensuring that they meet the evolving needs of Uganda's communities.
