He only criticism I have heard comes from some of the expatriate community, who seem to think that coppers are not entitled to have lunch or a coffee break.
There was an armed robbery opposite cps Police Station a few months back. The response was immediate and included several  guys who quickly disarmed and captured the culprits. I believe they were told by their boss that they shouldn't have become involved. Well, the boss may not have been happy but it certainly went down well with the coppers.
I put this two bob's worth in because, as an ugandan, I must admit I am proud of those boys and girls. They are putting in a bloody good effort and it is appreciated.
Every town in  wants some officers and for good reason. They are not just good police, they are excellent ambassadors.
Given the limited duration and conditions of their assignment, earth-shaking results cannot be expected. The long-term will require the recruitment of contract police who can put in 3-6 years, learn the language and be part of the Constabulary’s chain of command.
