Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Uganda Police director of human resource development and training, AIGP Godfrey Golooba has said there is need for police officers to professionally carry out their duties in order to be a people-centered force and improve its image.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cKnowledge and skills enhancement in the Uganda Police Force is one of the priorities as we fulfill our constitutional mandate, vision and mission. The PhD and masters programmes of UPEACE began in 2016 with the first cohort of the master\u2019s programme followed by another one in 2017 and right now we have certificated 8 PhD holders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Golooba made the remarks during the UPEACE certification awarding ceremony for 8 PhD graduates in peace, governance and development and third cohort of 32 masters graduates in peace, governance and security at the Police Senior Command and Staff College, Bwebajja on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe achievements in these programmes, like other career development programs will support the effort to address policing requirements and gaps existing in the institution of the Uganda Police force. This will enable us to serve the community for better and improve the police image at large,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The college Commandant Mr Moses Kafeero said the 8 PhD graduates cohort is the first of its kind since the force\u2019s inception in 1906.<\/p>\n

\u201cI commend that you use these skills that you have acquired to perform better in the field. I must say you\u2019re already performing well and I know the skills that UPEACE has given you have added value to your work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Kafeero said the course will not only build the senior officers\u2019 capacity to command but also make their policing relevant to citizens of Uganda and beyond.<\/p>\n

The director University for Peace (UPEACE) Africa Mr Samuel Ewusi said the act of police officers seeking to attain higher education is a sign of their willingness to work professionally.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation isn\u2019t something commonly associated with people in uniform but Uganda is proving otherwise. Uganda has chosen the path of knowledge to ensure that whatever is done in the country is based on knowledge, that\u2019s why the capacity of Uganda Police force is being developed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
