Apart from the over 14, 200 police officers that will be on the alert to ensure law and order over the Christmas holidays, the Director of Operations of the Police Service, COP George Akuffo- Dampare, has noted eight key changes Ghanaians can expect from his outfit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know as a people that during this period, there is heightened activity from the movement which accompanies socio-economic activity that brings people from all walks of life to and from cities and towns across the country,\u201d COP Dampare said on the Citi Breakfast Show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you put all this together, it calls for increased policing in a way to take care of this heavy human and vehicular traffic across the country, and to do that calls for the mustering of all the resources that we have at our disposal to bring comfort to the good people of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The police are thus engaging in the following proactive measures:<\/p>\n<p><b> Traffic management policing <\/b> \u2013 Beyond the MTTD personnel on the roads, there is operational police personnel in major points of all the major cities nationwide to ensure the regular flow of vehicular and human traffic.<\/p>\n<p><b> Escalating highway patrols <\/b> \u2013 The police are ensuring highway patrols to protect commuters between rural and urban areas travel safely.<\/p>\n<p><b> Policing of commercial and entertainment centres <\/b> \u2013 Ensuring uniformed and undercover police presence in major leisure spots to prevent crime.<\/p>\n<p><b> Residential area policing <\/b> \u2013 Strengthening policing both in the day and night time within residential areas.<\/p>\n<p><b> Anti-land guard policing <\/b> \u2013 Ensuring landowners have their peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p><b> Vital installation policing <\/b> \u2013 Policing utilities to ensure activities of citizens are not disrupted.<\/p>\n<p><b> Criminal hideout policing <\/b> \u2013 Acting on police intel to keep watch on known criminal hideouts.<\/p>\n<p><b> Community engagement <\/b> \u2013 Ensuring the support and cooperation of the public through dialogue with communities and making use of social media reach.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 44 updated by: 44 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer()
