Tororo Central Police Station is witnessing an overwhelming influx of applicants eager to join the Uganda Police Force, as the nationwide recruitment of 10,000 police constables draws to a close.

Since the recruitment exercise began in the district on March 12, at least 668 hopefuls, mostly recent O-Level graduates, have submitted their applications, with numbers expected to rise even further on the final day.

Moses Mugwe, the community liaison officer for Tororo and Public Relations Officer for the Bukedi South region, noted that this year's recruitment has attracted a larger turnout compared to previous years, when the district failed to fill its allocated slots.

"The turnout has been amazing. We expect even more applications tomorrow, being the last day," Mugwe said.

"The huge number of people applying to join the Uganda Police Force indicates a significant shift in how people view the police and a growing appreciation for the important work our officers do."

Mugwe attributed the surge in interest to heightened sensitization efforts by the police, which have raised public awareness about the recruitment process and its benefits.

The Uganda Police Force officially announced the recruitment on March 11, outlining strict eligibility criteria.

Applicants must be Ugandan citizens with a clean criminal record, physically fit, and ready to serve anywhere in the country. Strong communication skills are also a key requirement.

Candidates must have obtained a Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) or its equivalent in 2020 or later, and meet specific grading requirements.

The police have also issued stern warnings against forgery and dishonesty. Any applicant found using fake documents or withholding information will face immediate disqualification and possible legal consequences.

Furthermore, the police reiterated that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge and urged applicants to be cautious of fraudsters demanding money for placement.

With just one day remaining, more aspiring recruits are expected to flock to the police station, making this one of the most competitive recruitment drives in recent years.
