The police have terminated the services of over 80 Flying Squad Operatives from different parts of the county.
The sacked who have been working as Special Police constables on contracts have been asked to stop working with the force with immediate effect.
The move the police leadership was communicated via an internal memo pinned at the flying Squad Headquarters at Central Police Station Kampala, on Monday November 5.
According to the Memo, the operative’s services are terminated until further notice, without delving into details.
“All those who have been working with Flying Squad as operatives their services have been terminated with effect from 5th November 2018 until further notice,” reads the memo signed by the Commandant Flying Squad, Peter Kakonge.
The termination of operatives leaves only fully trained and recognised police officers as part of the Flying Squad uniformed personnel.
The Operatives most of whom have been in the unit since it was founded in 2005 are believed to have caused disrepute to institution of the police.
