Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohunu on Saturday, December 6, led members of the Police Management Board and senior officers in a show-of-force exercise using the Ghana Police Service's newly acquired armoured vehicles, signalling heightened security readiness for the Christmas season.
The exercise, conducted across parts of Accra, highlighted the operational strength of the Service as officers manoeuvred the armoured carriers in a coordinated display designed to deter crime and reassure the public of police visibility during the busy holiday period.
Upon receiving the vehicles on Thursday, December 4, the IGP urged officers to maintain high morale and intensify efforts to combat crime nationwide, assuring them of the government's full support.
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama said the 40 armoured vehicles mark the beginning of a broader initiative to strengthen the operational capacity of the Ghana Police Service.
