Ghana Police in Dire Need of Logistics

The Ghana Police Service has lost it’s efficacy in its core duties of defending the Public, enforcing the law and affecting arrest of law breakers.

Two Police Personnel over the Week ends in Accra Kotobabi, has displayed their ineptitude following their in ability to effect arrest.

An aggrieved Tenant, Mrs. Aku 25 had reported violation of Tenancy Agreement by her Landlady madam Alice 55 to the Police, apparently to intervene and save her from being thrown out of the house. ‘’ The rent agreement is two years but I stayed in the room barely one and half years’’, the tenant explained.

A first, a lone Police man arrived together with the Complainant with an invite from the Police, inviting the Landlady to the Police Station for questioning. The Landlady declined the invite, saying that the Police are corrupt.

Whiles there, the Police obtained information that the facility the Landlady is renting out is not for her. The Police man, realizing that he could not effect the arrest alone went back to the Police station for reinforcement.  

The reinforcement arrived later in a charted Taxicab, but before the two police could land from the cab, the Landlady started yelling and hurling insults and invectives at the Police.

Nonetheless, the Police walked to her amid the rain of insults to show an arrest warrant to her. Immediately, the Landlady snatched the paper from the Police officer and threw it into a nearby gutter filled with water.

Clearly, ‘’this disrespect and grossly disobeying the orders of the Police is despicable and an acceptable’’, this is the opinion of the onlookers as they watched with disgust.

‘’Why would anybody respect a Police Personnel who arrive in a scene in a Taxicab, with a tattered, discolored uniform and wretched unpolished shoes’’ another witness explained.

These are the sentiments of Concerned Ghanaians who think that the Police Service must be given proper training in addition to massive facelift in terms of Logistics.
