"Your service has not only raised the flag of Uganda high but also strengthened our role as a key partner in promoting peace across the region," Namaye said. She encouraged the returning officers to use the experience and skills gained during their international deployment to improve community policing, crime prevention, and overall law enforcement back home.
The Uganda Police Force has been a significant contributor to ATMIS and other international peacekeeping missions, reinforcing the country’s reputation as a dependable partner in continental security initiatives.
