JOB DETAILS:

• Salary Scale: U6
• Reference No.: DSC/KTD/03/2025
• Representation Basis: New
• Number of Vacancies: 1

Expanded Details:

• Role Overview: An Assistant Law Enforcement Officer supports the enforcement of local government by-laws and regulations, often working in areas like market regulation, public order, and compliance with district policies. The "re-advertised" note suggests this position was previously advertised but not filled, possibly due to a lack of qualified applicants.
• Likely Responsibilities:
  • Enforcing district by-laws, such as those related to sanitation, market operations, or public nuisance.
  • Conducting patrols and inspections to ensure compliance with local regulations.
  • Investigating minor offenses and reporting to higher authorities for action.
  • Assisting in the collection of local taxes, fees, or fines.
  • Educating the community on local laws and regulations to promote compliance.
  • Supporting other departments (e.g., health or environment) in enforcing specific regulations, such as waste management or public health measures.
• Salary Scale (U6): The U6 scale is a lower-middle level position, typically for roles requiring a certificate or diploma. The monthly salary for a U6 position might range from UGX 500,000 to UGX 700,000 (approximately $130–$185 USD).
• Qualifications: Likely requires a Certificate or Diploma in Law Enforcement, Public Administration, or a related field. Some experience in law enforcement, community policing, or local government administration would be an advantage. Physical fitness and knowledge of the local language (likely Ng’akarimojong, given Kotido’s location in the Karamoja region) may also be required.
