The Takoradi branch of Ecobank Ghana has presented office equipment worth thousands of Ghana cedis to the Regional CID Unit of the Ghana Police Service in Sekondi.
The items, a photocopier and its accessories, were received by the Western Regional Police Commander, Commissioner of Police Mohammed Ahmed Alhassan, at the regional headquarters in Sekondi.
In a statement before the presentation, Mr Frank Osei-Nkrumah of the Legal Department of the bank, said the donation formed part of the bank’s corporate social responsibility to enhance the operations of the Police Service.
He said since the Police Service is an institution charged with the responsibility for ensuring the safety of all, the bank decided to support the unit to further discharge its duties.
Mr Osei-Nkrumah said that the police, the business community and members of society had a lot in common to share, and that it was, therefore, right that all stakeholders paused to see where they could help make the work of the police a little easier.
“It is the hope of the management and staff of Ecobank that the copier would go a long way to help them in their work”, he added.
For his part, the regional commander Alhassan, thanked the bank for the support and added that it was the aim of the government to address the logistic needs of its institutions to function well, but that it could not do this alone.
The regional commander said with the support of corporate bodies, things tend to be a little better and expressed the unit’s appreciation to the bank.
“One institution or individual will not be able to address the needs of the Police Service, but as you come individually or in groups we will get there”, the regional commander said.
He said further that the donation came at an opportune time when they really needed it and gave the assurance that the bank would put the items to good use to enhance its operations.
