Uganda Licensing (Uganda Police · PSO Regulations 2013)

Why protection in Uganda must be licensed.

In Uganda, private security organisations are licensed and supervised by the Uganda Police Force under the Police (Control of Private Security Organisations) Regulations 2013. Every operative must be registered with the Inspector General of Police and renew that registration annually, and any firearms are controlled under the Firearms Act. Only firms on the current approved register may lawfully deploy.

Algoz coordinates protection in Uganda exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative registered, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or coordinate regional movement through Cairo and Dubai.

What protection in Uganda costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in this market is, in 2026, typically from around USD 450 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Uganda — Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Kampala directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Kampala yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Kampala market in Uganda: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout — so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Do you provide close protection and secure transport in Uganda?

Yes. Licensed officers and secure transport cover arrivals, business travel, residences and safari movements for visiting principals and executives, coordinated discreetly through one contact.

Is Uganda safe for visitors?

Kampala and other destinations across Uganda are generally safe for visitors, though awareness and discretion are always recommended. Qualified professionals ensure comfort, reliability and an extra layer of personal protection.

Can you provide security on safari?

Yes. We coordinate protection and logistics beyond the capital, including private safaris in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Parks and gorilla trekking in Bwindi.

Can you combine security with transport and VIP services?

Yes. Transportation, security and VIP services are arranged together for comfort and reliability across both city and country.

How much notice do you need?

Most assignments are arranged on short lead times; for safari and upcountry logistics we recommend giving as much notice as possible.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
