The locals of Lapul have welcomed this development, expressing hope for improved security in the area.

This move is part of the Uganda Police Force’s efforts to enhance community policing and security across the region.

The Pader police operate in four sectors: Puranga, Pader CPS, Pajule, and AtangaA policing model that emphasizes community participation in maintaining security.-Reduced response times, improved security, and enhanced community-police relations.
