“I have charged my commanders to deal ruthlessly with anyone who henceforth dares to wage senseless attacks on any police installation or officer”, he warned.
He said police officers have the "support" of Ghanaians who are “decent and law-abiding persons" to take down criminals and restore security.

The warning comes after a broad day light shooting incident at Lapaz, Accra, in which two police officers were shot at, leading to the death of one, and the other in critical condition.
He described the police officers who have been killed on operational duties as the service’s “finest and gallant officers.”
