Police have updated phone numbers of Regional Police Commanders and Subcounty Commanders nationwide, aiming to strengthen community policing and enhance emergency response during the electoral season.
According to Senior Police Officer Dr. Aisha Kayongo, these phone numbers, available 24/7, are operated by trained officers ready to respond promptly to security-related calls at the local level. They complement the existing Toll-Free Police Patrol Lines.
Addressing a press conference at police headquarters in Nagulu today, Dr. Kayongo urged citizens to utilize these numbers and platforms to report incidents or concerns, ensuring a safe and secure electoral process.
“…..especially for now when we are into the electoral season, we kindly request that you can take use of our social medias for you not to get stuck just in case you wanted any contact for police and you’ll definitely be able to have those numbers,” she said.
Some of the critical numbers include; 999 Patrol Platform – +256800300102, +256800122291, Simba Operations – +256800199699, 0776999136, 0707600073, Traffic – 0800199099, Crime Investigations – 0800200933.
