Veteran Broadcaster, Kwame Adinkra has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare under whose leadership the Ghana Police Service deployed an effective policing strategy during the just-ended Christmas holidays.
According to him, as a journalist who closely observes societal issues impacting community well-being and safety, he observed how citizens felt safe within their own neighborhood while attending various events during the Christmas holidays, particularly on the 31st of December, when many Christians attended vigil nights.
Kwame Adinkra noted it is an undeniable fact that Ghanaians have long been victims of numerous crimes, including robberies, petty thefts, and other unfortunate incidents during such festive holidays, but that was not the case during the recent festivities.
“The just-ended festive season seemed different. Our homes and streets were noticeably safer, and it was quite evident that your well-thought-out approach had a significant impact on protecting our lives and property across the nation.
“Your strategic approach to deploying police personnel across key locations did not go unnoticed. The timely deployment of additional resources, such as increased patrols, checkpoints at critical locations, and improved coordination between police officers, undeniably played a crucial role in maintaining law and order across the country.
The enhanced visibility of police personnel on the streets was particularly impressive,” the celebrated journalist said in an Open Letter to the IGP.
“The disguised police officers posing as civilians that mingled with audiences at various musical shows and other public gatherings was highly impressive, safe it was a privilege knowledge. It is, therefore, at this point that I would like to acknowledge the dedication displayed by every police officer under your leadership during the season,” he added.
