As part of efforts to fight crime and protect Ghanaians, the Ghana Police Service is set to introduce a new investigation unit.
The unit, K9 Unit will assist with investigations and crowd control.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr James Oppong-Boanuh, announced this at the closing ceremony of the 2021 National Police Command Conference (NAPOCC) at Senchi in the Asuogyaman District in the Eastern Region last Saturday
He said the Police Service will be pursuing intelligence-led policing and embark on a supply policing instead of demand policy.
He noted that the service will train more detectives to help with investigative duties.
He further announced the establishment of an Air Wing following the completion of hangars.
He said the Police is awaiting the arrival of helicopters promised by the government.
“To ensure the effective production of our services, some new units have been created, the air wing, in fact the hangar has been completed, and we are just awaiting the arrival of the helicopters.”
He advised Commanders to collaborate with communities they operate in to enhance their work.
“We do policing in communities, but we do not involve the people,” adding. we have mapped out an administrative strategy that involved the active engagement of communities to enable the police to serve the communities better.
