The Uganda Police Force has announced a massive recruitment drive, set to enlist 10,000 new officers in 2025. This, for the hustlers and bayilibi, presents an opportunity for stable employment, career growth, and a chance to serve their nation. If you’ve ever considered joining the police force, this is your moment. And if it’s never been a consideration but life pushing the buttons, it is an opportunity nonetheless.
