The Inspector-General of Police, Mr. James Oppong-Boanuh has therefore directed the Director-General Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) to investigate and bring up a report on the matter, for officers who are found culpable to be sanctioned accordingly.
"The Police Service is committed to its avowed principle of impartiality. The general public should be assured of the performance of police duties without fear or favour," it added.
