President Akufo-Addo has praised the "changing face" and transformation within the Ghana Police Service, noting that it is worth emulating by other state agencies.
According to the President, the transformation in the Service is best reflected in the facelift of the police headquarters under the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
Addressing the nation in Parliament on Tuesday, he said that his government has equipped the Police Service much better than any government in recent times.
“Government has performed much creditably, the police today are much equipped than they have ever been. The increased police visibility on the streets goes a long way to assure the community," President Akufo-Addo said.
He stressed that, "The changing phase of the police is perhaps best exemplified by the dramatic facelift they have given the frontage of the police headquarters on the Ring Road in Accra, it is beautiful and I recommend it to all institutions and indeed households”.
In February 2023, while presenting some equipment to the police at the police headquarters, the President said “We're all witnessing the transformation of the Ghana Police Service under our very eyes. We see the discipline that has been restored to our roads, the enhanced Police visibility, and general discipline in society under the leadership of the IGP, Dr Akuffo Dampare."
"I want to assure him that he has my full support and the support of my government to continue his transformation of the Police Service," he noted
