The Occupant of the Golden Stool, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, says Ghana’s globally acclaimed safety is a result of the service and commitment of police officers across the country.
Speaking during a visit to the Police Headquarters in Accra on January 6, 2026, Otumfuo publicly acknowledged and commended the entire police body for their selfless sacrifices to keep the country safe.
The Asantehene recognised their service of commitment and professionalism despite the many challenging hurdles of the service, as he credited the Police Service for the global peace of the country.
“The international community widely applauds us for the safety in our streets. If we take pride in our climate of peace and accept the applauds of the world of the safety in our streets we cannot fail to acknowledge the crucial role of our frontline protectors of our peace and security.”
His Majesty outlined their night and day patrols in communities and highways to chase out crimes, emphasising that credit must be given where it is due.
“When we snuggle in our comfortable beds at night, we cannot forget that there are thousands of our sons and daughters battling with mosquitoes while dutifully protecting them from the snares of criminal minds.
“And while we travel along our motorways, whether in our shining limousines or humble trotros or Aboboyaa and Pragya, we cannot forget that there are again thousands of our sons and daughters keeping guard in the most uncomfortable spots just to make sure we arrive safely at our destinations.”
