KAMPALA - Inspector General of Police Abas Byakagaba has appointed Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Susan Kasingye to head the Uganda Police Force's communication strategy.
The new arrangement also brings in Vincent Etuket, an officer who has been working in electronic countermeasures.
The appointments were communicated on Friday (November 13), marking a new direction in the force's approach to public communication, information management and strategic engagement.
Kasingye's appointment places her at the centre of coordinating the force's communication strategy, including how the institution develops, manages and delivers information to the public and other stakeholders.
When contacted, Kasingye confirmed her appointment.
Etuket's involvement, particularly given his background in electronic countermeasures, introduces a technical dimension to the new communication arrangement.

When contacted, Kasingye confirmed her appointment.
Etuket's involvement, particularly given his background in electronic countermeasures, introduces a technical dimension to the new communication arrangement.
Electronic countermeasures generally involve specialised electronic capabilities used to detect, manage, disrupt or counter electronic threats and interference. In a security institution, such expertise can support the protection of communication systems and information infrastructure.
The precise division of responsibilities between Kasingye and Etuket was not immediately clear.
The changes do not, however, affect the office of the police spokesperson. Rusoke Kituuma remains the Uganda Police Force spokesperson and the official channel for the force's routine public statements and security updates.
Further details on the structure, responsibilities and implementation of the new communication strategy are expected.
