In a bid to enhance national security, the Uganda Police Force is set to implement a new sub-county policing model. This initiative was announced by SCP Godfrey Musana, the Commandant Police Construction Unit while he was commissioning the new central police station in Kabwohe Town Council, Sheema Municipality in Sheema district yesterday.

He said the move will involve closing police stations in the sub counties and consolidating them into one well-equipped sub county police station. He acknowledged the shortage of officers but said they are recruiting more personnel to address the concerns of inadequate staffing of police officers. 

Sam Orikunda, the Sheema Deputy Resident Commissioner informed the senior commissioner that the biggest change in the district is domestic violence which escalates and brings land issues which cause murders. He urges religious leaders to do counselling in family institutions to stop the habit. 

Dickson Kateshumbwa, the Sheema municipality Member of Parliament cautioned police officers against mismanaging case files and asked them to manage crime.
