Tema, August 8, GNA –
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Nana Asomah Hinneh, Tema Regional Police
Commander, has advised police personnel in the region to discharge their duties
professional, and ethically to protect the image of the Service.
DCOP Hinneh said,” The
Police are not in their good times and if we are not careful, we are going to
lose the confidence of the masses”.
He gave the advice
during the Ashaiman Divisional Police Command’s 2017 annual West African
Security Service Association (WASSA) Celebration.
DCOP Asomah said that
the personnel who discharged their responsibilities professionally and in
accordance to the country’s laws would have the needed support from the
Service.
He said professional
conducts was a necessity especially in the wake of public criticisms due to
some unacceptable behaviour among some Police personnel.
Assistant Commissioner
of Police (ACP), Mr Peter Gyimah, in a welcome address, observed that there had
been relative peace in the Ashaiman Municipality as the area did not record any
violent crime in the year under review.
ACP Gyimah commended
Police personnel in the Division for enforcing the laws and maintaining peace
in the area in 2017 and the first half of this year urging them to continue the
good work.
Nii Annang Adjor, the
Chief of Ashaiman, and Mr Ernest Norgbey, Member of Parliament for Ashaiman,
also commended the Police for the peace in the area and reiterated the need for
professionalism among personnel.
Personnel of the
Division dinned and danced their hearts out as they interacted with each other
during the WASSA.
WASSA is a day set
aside by security services to relax and interact under recreational conditions
while taking stock of their performance during the year under review as well as
plan for the coming year.
