POLICE ADMINISTRATION LAUDS CHIEFS, PEOPLE OF VR (PAGE 28)

The Police administration has commended the chiefs and people of the Volta Region for their support in the past years.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Mr George A. Anko-bil, gave the commendation at the passing out parade of 43 recruits at the inauguration of police cadets of Kadjebi-Asato Senior High School at the police training depot in Ho last Thursday.
He said the new police hierarchy was driven by research-based and scientifically proven strategies of policing to ensure that all menders of the service were directed by performance objectives, community-based law enforcement and citizen-centred order maintenance.
He stressed the need for police personnel to be well equipped with well rehearsed action plan, skills, knowledge and attitudes to enable them to survive the daily demands of the profession in order to adequately protect the citizens.
Mr Anko-bill explained that conflict will always arise but where in the exercise of individual liberty, a person steps on another person’s toes the police should be able to resolve the conflict.
He advised the recruits against the use of force on the public and that the public should also refrain from corrupting the police with money to do what is wrong or to prevent them from performing their duties.
Five recruits were awarded for outstanding performance in drill, musketry, physical agility, academics and the all round best recruit. They are Nannsua Konlan, Samule Sefa, Nurudeen Mubarak, Adolf Kujar and Nurudeen Mubarak respectively.
