Security officers from multiple state agencies conducted a joint route march through the streets of Kumasi and other parts of the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, to reassure the public of their preparedness for the festive season.
The exercise involved personnel from the Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Police Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and Ghana Immigration Service, with additional participation from the Ghana Prisons Service, National Ambulance Service, National Security, and the National Investigation Bureau.
The joint march aimed to showcase inter-agency collaboration, boost public confidence, and deter crime during the holiday period, when human and vehicular movements typically increase across the region.
Speaking after the exercise, Ashanti Regional Police Commander DCOP Arthur Osei Akoto called for strong cooperation among security agencies and stressed the need for discipline among officers. He reaffirmed their readiness to maintain public safety and pledged unity and commitment in service delivery.
“With the birth of Christ, let us forgive each other and turn over a new leaf. On your behalf, I assure the Regional Minister that from today onwards, we will display unity and a common sense of purpose, which will translate into effective and efficient service delivery to the good people of Ghana,” DCOP Osei Akoto said.
