The Ghana Police Service is trying to reestablish public faith and confidence by implementing steps to purge the force of bad nuts.
ACP Kwesi Ofori, Acting Director-General of the Ghana Police Service’s Public Affairs Department, cautioned that personnel who violate the ethics of the profession would not be spared.
“The Public Relations Office is very committed to shaping the image of the service henceforth. We will groom our officers into being courteous and incorruptible. We are determined to take out the bad nuts in the service. We will not condone policemen caught engaging in criminal activities. We will go all out to make sure that we smoke them out. They are very much aware of the ethics of the profession, and so we will make no exceptions for anyone found culpable,” he added.
“Our personnel, particularly the MTTD officers, are briefed by their command frequently to uphold good values and make sure that they do not abuse their powers. As human as we are, we may experience some infractions, but when they come to our notice, we will make sure they are not spared.”
He also said that they have developed methods to monitor cops who continue to violate policing principles.
The Ghana Police Service has often topped the country’s corruption perception polls.
According to the Center for Democratic Development’s December 2019 Afrobarometer study, the Ghana Police Service was the most corrupt organization in the nation, ranking first with 57 percent.
