Speaking at the ceremony Dr. Bawumia said he underscored the invaluable place of security as an indispensable tool for sustainable growth and development of any community, hence Government’s ongoing efforts to provide the necessary logistics and equipment to the security agencies.

On maintenance culture, he charged the police service to adopt a sustainable plan that will keep not only this police station but others as befitting and attractive as possible.

On the part of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr George Akuffo Dampare, said beyond having structures as a basis for providing policing, personnel would go into the communities to constantly engage citizenry in their houses, offices, streets as Police visibility increased to ward off criminals.

He assured that personnel would use the facility to deepen policing in the country and continue to keep the communities safer.

"Very soon you will see the trailblazer activities that we would embark on where you will see the IGP, Police Management Board members, going round across the country.

You will also see Regional Commanders moving in their regions once every month. Divisional Commanders will go through every corner of their divisions once every two weeks," the IGP assured.

He said, "And you will see District commanders going through every corner of their districts once every week to bring policing to your doorstep. In effect, you can call it door to door policing, you will see the Police everywhere to keep you safe and to keep the bad people away.”

Mr Ambrose Dery, Minister for the Interior, said the Police service was on course, pursuing the President's transformational agenda.

He said citizens' collaboration was also relevant in policing and commended the public for resourcing the Police, adding that giving intelligence to the Police had increased because of the increasing confidence in the Police.
