The Municipal Security Committee (MUSEC) with representatives from the Security agencies (Police, Fire Service, Army, Immigration, Customs Excise and Preventive Service, Bureau of National Investigations, NADMO), serve as the oversight body on security in the Municipality. The MUSEC collects, analyse, retain and disseminate as appropriate information and intelligence respecting activities that may constitute threats to the security of the Municipality. It safeguards the economic well-being of the state against threats posed by the acts or omissions of persons or organizations both inside and outside the Municipality. To a large extent their presence has ensured peace in the Municipality and has facilitated the promotion of development.

Police


The four divisional Police Commands that cut across the Municipality are Ashaiman,  Prampram, Dodowa and Adentan Police Divisional Commands. These divisional commands complement the work of the five Police Commands in the Municipality due to its vast nature in total land surface area. The five District Police Commands are Kpone, Oyibi, Zenu-Atadeka, Afienya/Gbetsile and Adjei Kojo District Police Commands respectively. They see to the day to day security in the Municipality. Some general security concerns in the Municipality are armed robbery, defilement, rape, theft, burglary, land litigation, illegal sand winning etc.

There are quite a number of police stations in the Municipality but these stations are not enough to serve the people in the Municipality due to the vast nature of the Municipality. These stations are sited in Kpone, Golf City, Gbetsile, Appolonia, Saki, Oyibi and Zenu. Although the Assembly is enhancing security in the Municipality by building police stations in some localities it is still not enough and that more efforts should be put in this regard.

Even though, land litigations and chieftaincy disputes are settled by the Traditional Council in the Municipality their assistance is also sought for when the need arises. It is important to note that, the presence of land guards in areas like Oyibi, Gbetsile, Katamanso, Appolonia and Kubekro is quite worrying. The Assembly through the MUSEC has engaged in several dialogues with stakeholders to address the issue. In addition, regular patrols and the citing of Security posts at strategic places are measures undertaken to remedy the problem.
