The NCPF boss, Blaise Kamugisha, says there are 11 million crime preventers in the country, while the national army has about 45,000 active personnel.


Local news portal ChimpReports talked to the UPDF Spokesperson Brig Richard Karemire, who revealed that the army will ‘identify, register and document all the crime preventers’.


‘‘We have to know who they are so we can call them in times of need. We intend to take advantage of the skills they have for the benefit of the country,” Brig Karemire said.


He also clarified that the UPDF Act allows trained militants such as Local Defence Units to serve under the Reserve Force.
