Police starts recruitment of 5,000 personnel; here’s how to apply

Uganda Police Force (UPF) has started on an exercise to recruit 5,000 Probationer Police Constables (PPCs) as a way of improving its capacity, weeks after another batch was passed out.

Starting August 2019, police started on efforts to increase its numbers from about 38,000.
