The Uganda Police Force Director Human Resource Development Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Godfrey Golooba has urged officers to embrace and promote peace in their day to day operations.
“This exercise is very important to the Uganda Police Force since it gives us the feel of what happens on ground in a conflict situation,” said the AIGP Golooba.
He encouraged officers who have attended the exercise to train others and help them understand how peace support operations, counter piracy, counter terrorism and disaster management can be used by police to promote peace and security.
These remarks were made by the director during the closure of the 12th Edition of the East African Community (EAC)Armed Forces Field Training Exercise (FTX), Ushirikiano Imara, 2022 at Gadaffi Barracks in Jinja City.
