Commissioner of Police (COP), Daniel Kwame Afriyie, Director-General in charge of Private Security Organizations, has charged newly passed-out police recruits to exhibit high levels of competence that matches the trust and confidence reposed in them by the public.
Addressing 238 recruits at the Volta Regional Police Training School in Ho, COP Afriyie reminded the officers that the nation’s reliance on the Ghana Police Service for the maintenance of peace, security, and social cohesion which were critical pillars for national development, remained unshaken.
The graduating cohort comprised 31 Under Cadets and 207 General Recruits.
COP Afriyie emphasized the vital role of the Police in the successful implementation of the government’s flagship 24-Hour Economy policy, noting that a well-secured environment was essential for uninterrupted economic and social activity.
He announced that the Police Administration had already established a special unit, namely, the 24-Hour Economy Security Secretariat at the Police Headquarters to coordinate security aspects of that initiative.
Commending the recruits for their impressive parade and smart turnout, he noted that their display reflected dedication, resilience, and commitment throughout the rigorous training period.
He stated, “Your performance affirms the popular saying that ‘smartness in uniform reflects mental alertness and a sound mind in a sound body.’ It is a clear demonstration of your readiness to serve the nation diligently.”
