President John Dramani Mahama has commended the Ghana Police Service for its efforts to improve public safety, citing a reduction in unresolved murder cases and highway robberies as evidence of progress in the fight against crime.
He praised the police administration for its work and urged officers to sustain their efforts to protect lives and property across the country.
President Mahama made the remarks on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, during the commissioning of an 85-bed ward complex at the Police Hospital in Accra.
“This police administration is doing a yeoman’s job and as Commander-in-Chief and president of the Republic, I want to express the gratitude of our nation to all of you and urge you to keep up the good work,” he said.
The President also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to providing the Police Service with the logistical support required to enhance its operations and strengthen public safety.
He said Ghana’s reputation as a safe destination in West Africa reflected the efforts of security personnel, adding that the government would continue to equip the police to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
“It is no wonder everybody wants to visit Ghana, because people say it is the safest country in the whole of West Africa and I can assure you that we will continue to provide you with the logistics that you need to continue to do your job,” he added.
President Mahama’s remarks underscore the government’s commitment to supporting the Police Service as it works to combat crime and maintain law and order.
