Exploring police practices in Uganda, the book reveals the complexities faced by the Uganda Police Force (UPF) amid socio-political and discursive challenges. Through ethnographic immersion, the author illustrates how officers balance personal interests with institutional demands, highlighting discrepancies between theoretical policies and real-world applications. It emphasizes the UPF's involvement in political policing, extending beyond its legal boundaries. Aimed at academics and practitioners, the work enriches the understanding of policing and state anthropology in Africa.
