Recently, the head of Research and Planning of the Ghana Police Service, COP Kofi Boakye, charged new recruits to be at their outmost best to fight crime in the country.
“It is incumbent on all of us including you – the new recruits – to help us achieve this objective, starting from now and you have a duty of arresting these criminals who killed one of us.”
“This is non-negotiable and we cannot compromise on the need to arrest these criminals”, he said.
