In the lead-up to the festive season, the Accra Regional Police Command has stepped up its security operations across the region, with increased patrols, additional personnel, enhanced intelligence gathering, and visibility operations.
Speaking during a press briefing on Tuesday, December 23, Superintendent Juliana Obeng, the Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Region, outlined the service’s proactive measures and called on the public to remain vigilant, particularly during the holiday season.
“As part of our Christmas and end-of-year security operations, the Accra Regional Police Command has intensified patrols, deployed additional personnel, enhanced intelligence gathering, and mounted visibility operations across the region to prevent crime and ensure public safety,” Superintendent Obeng said.
The police are urging members of the public, especially those attending conferences and large gatherings, to be mindful of their surroundings and safeguard their personal belongings.
“We also take this opportunity to advise members of the general public to remain vigilant, especially at conferences and at large gatherings, to keep their personal belongings and valuables under close watch at all times, even where the police are visible,” she added.
Superintendent Obeng also emphasised the importance of reporting suspicious activities swiftly, whether at public events or elsewhere. She encouraged citizens to use the police’s emergency lines for quick responses.
“Suspicious activities should be promptly reported to the nearest police station for immediate action or through our emergency lines 18, 555, and 191,” she stated.
The Accra Regional Police Command reassured the public of its unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property, especially during the festive period, and urged everyone to stay informed through official police communications.
“The Accra Regional Police Command remains committed to protecting lives and property and urges the general public to rely on official communication for accurate information during this time and beyond,” Superintendent Obeng concluded.
With these measures in place, the police aim to create a safer environment for all residents and visitors in Accra, ensuring a peaceful end to the year and a joyful start to the New Year.
