Police

There are a total of three (3) police stations in the District. The District police headquarters is at Kenyasi No.1.The total number of police personnel in the District is seventy (70) of which 59 are males and 11 females. The crime situation in the District is relatively low. Most of the crimes recorded in the District include stealing, threatening and assault. The most frequently occurring crime is threatening which involves one person or another threatening to do harm or hurt another. These crimes have emerged as a result of the population explosion in the District. The upsurge of galamsey activities have also contributed to the various crimes being recorded in the District.

The major challenge of the District police command is inadequate residential accommodation for its staff. With the advent of mining activities in the District, the cost of accommodation has risen up considerably in Kenyasi. It is therefore a great strain on the police command to house its staff to ensure that they perform their duties effectively.

Fire Service

Currently, there is no fire station in the District. The old station went to Asutifi South when it was carved out from the old Asutifi North. Talks are on-going to establish a new fire station in the District.
