The department of sexual and children-related offenses under the Directorate Of Criminal Investigations at Kibuli CID headquarters yesterday opened a two days training course on the prevention of Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV) and Sexual, Reproductive Health Rights (SHR) among Police officers and their immediate families.

The opening of the training was presided over by the Deputy Director CID, CP Venis Tumuhimbise who represented the CID AIGP Tom Magambo. CP Tumuhimbise urged Police officers to take care of themselves by fundamentally avoiding risky behavior like the abuse of alcohol and drugs.

 He further advised officers to maintain strong minds, learn and grasp the knowledge passed onto them but also use the information effectively in their day-to-day lives and during the execution of duties.

According to the Justice Law and Order Sector representative Ms. Lucy Ladira, officers are at the forefront of law enforcement in society which necessitates sensitization.

  Ms. Ladira called upon guardians and parents to do their parenting role as a way of preventing such offenses. The training was funded by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
