Police Commander
cautions personnel against unconventional means of acquiring
wealth
Kumasi, Jan. 13, GNA - Mr. Frank Adu-Poku, Ashanti Regional
Police Commander and Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP)
has cautioned Police Personnel against the pursuit of
unconventional means of acquiring wealth.
He said this was very important because, if they are not
careful, they will be exposed and made to face the full
rigours of the law.
Mr Adu-Poku was speaking at a welfare meeting organised by
the Regional Police Command on Wednesday in Kumasi to review
the activities of the past year and to strategise for the
years ahead.
The meeting was attended by personnel from all the police
units, districts and divisions throughout the region.
The regional commander stated that the police administration
would defend personnel who work within the confines of the
law and therefore urged them to learn and abide by the laws
of the land and police regulations and procedures.
He said, "it is not right for the people to suffer unduly in
the hands of the very persons who have sworn to protect
them".
Mr Adu-Poku urged them to eschew illegal acts such as
extortion, mounting of unauthorised road-blocks, bribery and
corruption, unlawful arrests and detention of suspects.
He noted that the police cannot work effectively without the
support of the general public and stressed the need for them
to work harder to win the confidence and trust of the
people.
The Regional Commander commended them for their wonderful
performances before, during and after the Christmas and New
Year festivities.
The Police personnel also praised Mr Adu-Poku on his recent
promotion from Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) to
DCOP.
