Following Kasingye’s thursday speech during the opening of Katwe-Kabatoro Police division headquarters in Kasese, as part of his ideological orientation tour in the Rwenzori Region, He emphasized professionalism and appealed to officers to avoid any acts of unethical conducts like corruption and bribery.
He urged the officers to understand the mission, vision and mandate of the force by being ideologically grounded, so that the public appreciates the services offered.
According to Kasingye, officers face challenges while on duty but urged senior officers to care for the welfare of junior officers by showing them care and support.
He further urged them to help revamp the image of the police in the eyes of the public by improving community policing services and adopting a people- centered approach in delivering police services. This, he said, can be achieved if every police officer changes their attitude about the public.
He said police officers must now focus more on crimes that directly affect the economic and wellbeing of the common man.
These, he said, include theft of animals and crops, SMEs that are started using SACCO loans and protection of power lines, among others.
