"As we celebrate these Easter holidays, your major role is to secure the city and the whole country. Ensure the 'Wanainchi' and their property are safe. They must have a smooth period and our role is to ensure this happens," said Tumusiime.
He said that all worship places should be secured and the area commanders must work hand in hand with the local leaders to achieve this objective.
Tumusiime said that foot and motorised patrol should be enhanced in collaboration with the sister forces for smooth operations.
"Work hand in hand with other security agencies in your areas of operation and we shall support you. Just do your work professionally," he emphasized.
Police deputy spokesperson, Claire Nabakka also warned members of the public that the holiday comes with the potential for increased criminality, where opportunists and criminal elements target pedestrians, motorists, homes, passengers, revellers among others, to attack, steal and rob from them.
She said despite Uganda being free from specific terrorism threats, members of public shouldn’t forget that threats of terrorism still exist.
