The Inspector-General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare has declared his intention to transform the Ghana Police Service from an infamous institution to one deserving of respect.
Speaking at the 5th Volta Trade Investment Fair 2021, Young Entrepreneurs Breakfast Meeting in Ho, on Friday, he stated that with the support of Ghanaians, the Police Service would become a reference point for the rest of Africa and beyond.
“We know that not all the stories are pleasant, so we want to give you assurance that we’re charting a new path. And that path that we are going for, we want to be the most respected institution in the country and a reference point for the rest of Africa and beyond.
“We know we can do it because we have the will and whenever there is a will there will be a way. We, therefore, want to plead with you not to judge us by our history, we’re leaving that chapter closed and in fact, we’ll look at it more of a book than a chapter.
“So that book is withdrawn from the shelf and we’re replacing it with a new one. A book that will bring us to a level that all of you will know that yes Ghana Police Service has arrived at a destination where you yourself will be proud of and we promise you that,” he said.
