New police headquarters inaugurated at Amasaman

THE Chief Executive Officer of KAS Estates Ghana Limited, Mr Yahya Kassim Atta, has handed over a fully furnished police headquarters to the Ghana Police Service (GPS) at Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region to strengthen policing and improve security in the area.

The facility, equipped with offices, an interview room, a conference room, CCTV cameras, computers, air conditioners and other essential equipment, is expected to improve police administration and investigations in the area.

“For development to thrive, there must be peace. For people to invest in property, there must be confidence,” he underlined.

At a ceremony to inaugurate the facility, Mr Atta said the project was driven by the company’s commitment to supporting security and development in communities where it operated.

He stated that land acquisition disputes and their implications for public safety, investment and property development were among the concerns that motivated the company to support the police.

He said the company had previously constructed an investigation office for the district, but the structure was pulled down to make way for the larger facility following increased demand for office space.

Mr Atta said the facility was the fourth police project undertaken by the company, pledging to continue supporting the GPS in that regard.

He mentioned that the company would continue to support the maintenance of the facility and urged officers to promptly report any damage requiring attention.

The CEO further called on residents, traditional authorities, landowners and other stakeholders to cooperate with the police in addressing crime and resolving land disputes through lawful means.

The Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, Commissioner of Police (COP) Duuti Tuaruka, who commissioned the facility, expressed appreciation to KAS Estates for the contribution, describing security as a collective responsibility.

He noted that adequate infrastructure was essential for effective policing and that the new facility would provide officers with a conducive working environment for investigations, planning and administration.

COP Tuaruka urged the police to maintain the facility and ensure that it was used for its intended purposes.

He also charged officers to uphold professionalism, integrity, discipline and respect for human rights, adding that the public deserved fair, firm and compassionate policing.

The Amasaman Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Peter Adjei, indicated that the facility would address accommodation challenges arising from the growing number of investigators and increasing police operations in the area.

Chief Supt. Adjei also explained that the new headquarters would improve operational efficiency, service delivery and police accessibility to the public.

He assured that the police would maintain the facility and urged other corporate organisations and individuals to emulate the company’s support for the Ghana Police Service.
