The Inspector General of Police (IGP) has directed special tutoring for police in the Twin-City of Sekondi/Takoradi to equip them in readiness for the expected business boom and population increase and its associated crimes as a result of the oil business.
With that directive, the regional police command with the support from the police administration and corporate bodies would furnish the personnel with skills of modern-day democratic policing.
This is to ensure that the policemen would be abreast with knowledge in the laws and the rights of the members of the general public to ensure that they did not trample on the rights of members of the general public or the business community.
According to the Western Regional Police Commander, DCOP, Alhaji Hamidu Mahama, the increasing interest in the region especially the twin-city has called for a re-examination of policing in the region.
Policing, he said, had to be done in partnership with the public to create stronger bond between the service and the public.
He said population in the metropolis had increased with the expected crime increase, therefore it would be better to take proactive measures now to ensure that crime was made unattractive to the people.
