President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, joined the Ghana Police Service to pay homage to 20 gallant police personnel who died in their line of duties, both home and abroad, at the Memorial Day.
The Memorial Day held annually was set aside to recognise serving police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for safety and protection of life and protection.
The 2025 Police Memorial Day, which took place at the police training school at Tesano in Accra, also saw in attendance the interior minister, Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak; the inspector general of police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohunu; the clergy; traditional leaders; and the family of the departed souls.
Six of the officers had their names engraved on the Police Wall of Honour, a monument reserved for personnel who are killed in active service.
The remaining fourteen officers were recorded in the Memorial Book of Honour, which also recognises officers who pass away while performing official duties.
“Globally, police officers accept wholeheartedly that policing is a sacrificial profession that exposes them to extreme dangers and hazards, as they are tasked to combat all forms of criminal acts in society.”
The Police Memorial Day was first celebrated in 2014, where serving police officers who lost their lives while undertaking lawful duties within Ghana, on peacekeeping missions or on international assignments are recognised for their services to the country.
