Measured over 45 original posts, its engagement rate beats 47% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 29K times each, and 0.862% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.02% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 45 posts sampled, 96% carry an image or video, 16% are part of a thread and 47% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.4K interactions, about 18x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Uganda Police Force's engagement rate beats 47% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 44% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.026%, Uganda Police Force sits above the 25th percentile of the 9,981 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.007% to 0.047%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 06:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 96% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 47% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 96% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 47% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 491 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

. @mkituuma "The Uganda Police Force has taken note of complaints from members of the public regarding an online investment platform operating in Uganda under the name “Hut 8.” Preliminary information indicates that individuals were allegedly lured through social media platforms to deposit money with the promise of returns. Some of those who invested are now reportedly experiencing difficulties accessing their accounts or withdrawing their funds. While no formal complaints have yet been received by the Police, we wish to clarify that the legitimate Hut 8 Corporation has publicly disassociated itself from the alleged investment solicitations in Uganda. The company has stated on its X account that it has no authorised representatives or investment operations soliciting funds in Uganda. See more.. https://t.co/ZiDtGMKwhi

. @mkituuma "The Uganda Police Force notes that children have commenced their second-term holiday in August 2026. While the holiday offers children time to rest, reconnect with families and participate in positive activities, it also presents heightened risks to their safety, welfare and protection. During holiday periods, Police register cases involving violations of children’s rights, sexual violence, neglect, harmful child labour, accidents and offences committed against or among children. We therefore call upon parents, guardians, communities, school leaders and all duty bearers to place the protection, supervision and well-being of children at the centre of this holiday period.

- What is Uganda Police Force's engagement rate on X?
- Uganda Police Force (@PoliceUg) has an engagement rate of 0.026%, based on the median interactions across 45 original posts from the last 30 days against 956,207 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.026%, Uganda Police Force sits above the 25th percentile of the 9,981 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @PoliceUg have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 47% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @PoliceUg post?
- Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.17 posts per day across the measured window.
