The Italian Government has supported the Drug Enforcement Units of
\nthe CID operating within three regions of the country, two drones and six motor
\nbikes for their operations.<\/p>\n
The Italian Ambassador to Ghana, Giovanni Favilli, who presented
\nthe items on behalf of the Government of Italy, specifically by the Ministry of
\nInterior Anti Drug Unit, said the motorbikes were to provide for the needs of
\nDrug Law Enforcement Units (DLEU) located in the Bono, Eastern and Volta Regions,
\nafter those donated last November for the DLEU in Tamale.<\/p>\n
He
\nsaid the drones were meant to be used all over Ghana to survey areas suspected
\nto host marijuana plantations. <\/p>\n
\u201cTechnology
\nand equipment are key in supporting Police staff in their job of controlling
\nthe territory and fighting crime.<\/p>\n
It
\nis a small contribution but it is my hope that the motorbikes and the drones
\nare put to good use and used extensively, to improve police performance and
\ncitizens\u2019 security in Ghana,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Director
\nGeneral in charge of Services, Commissioner of Police, Alex Amponsah Asiamah,
\nwho received the items on behalf of the Acting Inspector General of Police, James
\nOppong Boanuah, thanked the Italian Government for the support.<\/p>\n
He
\nsaid since 2015 the Italian Government has supported the police by building the
\ncapacity of personnel both from the junior rank and the senior officers.<\/p>\n
He
\nsaid in 2018 the Italian government again donated two motor bikes to the Drug
\nLaw enforcement Unit in Tamale.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaw
\nenforcement is currently technologically driven, especially in the case of tracking
\nsystems and we are really grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Deputy
\nDirector General In Charge Of The Criminal Investigations Department, Assistant
\nCommissioner of Police, (ACP) George Tweneboah, added that selected officers
\nfrom the CID drug enforcement Units from across the country before the donation,
\nwere given a two-day training in drone piloting techniques to enable them use
\nthe drones in fighting crime.<\/p>\n
He
\nentreated participants to take care of the equipments to enhance crime
\ninvestigations.<\/p>\n
Present
\nwere the director in charge of the drug enforcement unit, Superintendent
\nHukporti, commandant of the detective training academy, Superintendent Grace
\nAkrofi, Police Attach\u00e9 at the Italian Embassy, Enrico Biasutti and others.<\/p>\n
