You have produced some of the most reliable, useful officers in the Police Force, Gen Katumba tells Intake 2001
Twenty-five years is no ordinary milestone. It is a testament to discipline, sacrifice, resilience, patriotism and duty. Yesterday, members of Cadet Intake 2001 gathered at Skyz Hotel, Naguru, to celebrate 25 years of service to the nation through the Uganda Police Force.
The celebrations were presided over by Gen. (Rtd) Katumba Wamala, Minister for Public Service, who served as Inspector General of Police when the cadets joined the Force in 2001. He commended the intake for remaining steadfast and for producing some of the Force’s most dependable and accomplished officers. “Thank you for not letting me down. You have produced some of the reliable and useful officers in the Police Force,” Gen. Katumba Wamala noted. He urged the members to maintain camaraderie and, as many approach retirement, to save for the future. “You are not growing any younger. Cultivate a saving culture from your earnings, make a commitment to save, prepare for retirement and continue to be role models to those you lead,” he advised.
On 18 August 2001, 70 young, energetic and patriotic men and women reported to Police Training School, Kibuli. Twenty-five years later, the intake has left a mark on the Uganda Police Force.
AIGP (Rtd) Grace Akullo said: “We stand today, 25 years later, not as cadets but as commanders, serving at different levels, including the highest strategic level of the Uganda Police Force. This milestone is a testament to discipline, hard work and resilience.”
