Successful applicants will undergo a one-month basic security training before deployment. Candidates are required to be Ugandan citizens aged 18 and above, possess a national ID, and have at least a Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) result slip. Women are encouraged to apply.
Every election season, police recruit thousands of such constables to reinforce security operations across the country.
Applicants are required to submit handwritten applications addressed to the Inspector General of Police, accompanied by photocopies of academic documents, national identity cards, a recent passport-size photograph, and recommendation letters from their LCI, LCIII, and GISO officials.
In conclusion, anyone found forging documents or impersonating others will face arrest and prosecution.
