The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has appealed to Ghanaians to support the police in identifying individuals who may seek to disrupt peace during the upcoming December 7 elections.
Speaking to members of the Assemblies of God Church in Accra on Sunday, Dr. Dampare emphasized the importance of community involvement in maintaining law and order, noting that public vigilance is crucial for safeguarding the nation’s stability.
“We may not reach everybody, so what it means is that there could be a few others who still think that they can make an attempt to disturb the peace of this country. Those people, you may be in the community, you may hear of them, you may see them. Our prayer is to allow yourself to be used as a vessel of God to let us know those people so that we will give them a place that has been designated for them,” he said.
Dr. Dampare further assured Ghanaians that the police are prepared to take proactive measures against potential troublemakers to protect communities.
“As we speak, the police cells have vacancies, the prisons have vacancies. So that proactively we move them out of our community and keep them where they want to be kept so that we continue to live our lives to the fullest during the rest of the election period and beyond,” he added.
The IGP’s remarks highlight the police service’s dedication to ensuring a peaceful election process. He reiterated the importance of collaboration between the police and the public in identifying and addressing potential threats, thereby ensuring smooth and incident-free elections.
By working together, Dr. Dampare believes that Ghana can maintain its reputation as a beacon of peace and democracy in the region.
