“We thank all the religious leaders who worked with our security teams to ensure the safety and security of church goers and well-wishers. We also want to thank the LCs, other local leaders and the community for their level of vigilance,” says SCP Enanga
According to Enanga, celebrations during the Christmas season were peaceful and he attributes this to efforts exhibited by local council leaders and religious leaders to mutually work with police to secure festivities.
He further applauded security personnel s from various security agencies who effectively secured the Christmas Holiday and Festivities. The full team effort included the UPF, UPDF, Prisons, JIC of ISO, CMI, ESO and CI, the General Duties, Field Force Unit, CID, Fire and Rescue, JATT, Traffic, Airwing, Forensic, K-9, Highway Patrols, Public Relations, Rapid and Quick reactions teams among others.
“Reports from all our jurisdictions indicate that the festivities were generally peaceful without any incidents of major security significance,” he added
Events’ organizers and promoters have also been applauded for successfully working with police to ensure safety and security in all music shows and concerts, at major venues.
Enanga boasts of the inter-agency planning, preparation, evaluation and coordination efforts which he says were very effective to make likely attacks and major threat very low.
