The footage drew widespread praise from the public, and now, Uganda Police has formally recognised his efforts.
Police Spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke, in an official statement, shared the recognition Tusiime received:
Let me introduce you to the officer many of you saw on social media braving the rain to carry out his traffic duties. He demonstrated remarkable dedication to his responsibilities, and we have received numerous reports praising his enthusiasm and commitment to duty.
His positive attitude will be recognised and rewarded.
