The cadets have for the past three years been on probation. Under normal circumstances, they should have been confirmed into police service after six months’ probation, however, this was delayed due to investigations by the IGG into reports of flawed recruitment exercise.
The Inspector General of Government IGG is investigating suspected irregularities in the recruitment of cadet police officers over the last three years. A reliable source who is part of the investigations told Uganda Radio Network that the major focus in this investigation is the pass-out of 1200 cadets during the 2015/2016 intake yet only 500 slots had been advertised.
