Advice

Addressing the graduands, the reviewing officer, COP Kofi Boakye advised the personnel to be on good behaviour and not to engage in acts that would bring the name of the police into disrepute.

He said the police service was a reputable organisation and such, should work and project the name of the service.

He said the service would not protect anyone miscreant or criminal masquerading as policemen as the Ghana Police Service would weed all of them out adding that “the police service was not self-aggrandisement.”
