Reshuffles have been made in the Professional Standard Unit of police.
A Wednesday statement issued by PSU and signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police John William Okalany shows that 7 officers have been transferred.

Started in 2007, PSU was created to keep an eye on the Police family, the Police officers and those who work with the Force. Its mandate is to receive public complaints against individuals who are caught on the wrong side of the law.
But of recent the unit had been seen as a failed section of police since many police officers have been allegedly committing crimes without being subjected to punishmemt.
The most recent was the case of Siraj Bakaleke, a former Regional Police Commander for Kampala Metropolitan Police South who was accused of extorting about Shs1.4 billion from three south Korean gold dealers, but was left in office.
