Inspector General of Police (IGP), David Asante-Apeatu, announced Friday that commanders would soon be stationed in the six newly created regions.

This, he said, was part of the Ghana Police Service's initiative to bring policing to the doors of ordinary Ghanaian citizens.

He said this in his welcome speech at the celebration of the social activity of the soldiers of West Africa (WASSA) in Accra in 2018.

Asante-Apeatu said the detachment of these new officers would ensure that the arrival of new politicians in these regions was based on a solid security platform.

He added that commanders would be responsible for conducting comprehensive security badessments in collaboration with other sister security agencies within these jurisdictions.

He added that the creation of the six new regions by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had strengthened the process of decentralization, which anchored the country's democracy.

Mr Asante – Apeatu said that the police administration was about to avoid delays in the promotion of police personnel. She said: "We will continue tirelessly to deploy self-centered policies to ensure the rapid promotion of agents awaiting promotion."

IGP stated that the advent of social media has resulted in a better informed population and improved crime reporting statistics, which has helped to gather accurate data for planning and operations and to contribute to reduce crime.

He badured that the police would rid the country of vigilantism and paid tribute to what he described as the unwavering political will of President Nana Akufo-Addo in favor of the determination of the police.

Mr. Asante-Apeatu thanked the media for their support in educating the public about the work of the police.

President Nana Akufo-Addo; Ministers of State, members of the diplomatic corps and other dignitaries attended the event.

The police administration celebrates the WASSA every year to close the past year and welcome the news.

This is also a break from the hard work of the previous year's activities to review lessons learned and chart a new path for the coming year.

The occasion is mainly colorful, with music and a lot of fun.
