Sheema, Greater Bushenyi – A renewed spirit of cooperation between the police and the community is blossoming in Greater Bushenyi following a successful community engagement initiative.
On Thursday, May 8th, 2025, the new Greater Bushenyi Police Spokesperson, SP Apollo Tayebwa, held a meeting with residents of Kitagata, addressing key safety and security concerns.
The meeting, which took place between 2 pm and 3 pm, focused on fostering a stronger partnership between the police and the community.
SP Tayebwa emphasized the importance of collaborative crime prevention, urging residents to act as the police’s “eyes and ears” by reporting any instances of unprofessional conduct, particularly involving intoxicated officers.
