The Law Enforcers went into the match on the back of a 100 per cent start to the season, winning all their first two matches to kick off their title defense in style.
Gideon Starlets, on the other hand, had suffered two defeats in their first two matches in the top flight, and their woes were deepened by Police.
David Vijago's charges began the match on a high, pinning Gideon in their own half and dominating play with quick exchange of passes that eventually resulted in first-half goals from Margaret Kunihira, Lorna Nyabuto and Zaina Namuleme.
In the second half, Ugandan import Kunihira added a brace to complete her hat trick as Nyabuto added one to register her first brace of the season.
With the win, Police are now the league leaders after improving their goal difference, while Gideon will have to wait longer for their first point in the league.
