A TWO-WEEK capacity building course organised by the Police Administration to sharpen the skills of the junior ranks in the Ghana Police Service has ended at the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua.
It was attended by 150 constables, lance corporals and corporals drawn from various parts of the country.
In an address read on behalf of the Director-General in charge of Human Development of the service, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Mrs Joana Osei Poku, the Deputy Eastern Regional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) K. Dwamena-Yeboah reminded the participants to avoid indiscriminate arrests and detentions as well as all forms of inhuman treatment of suspects.
That, she said, would guarantee the rights of the citizenry and win them the confidence of the people.
DCOP Osei Poku said modern policing demanded partnership with the public to solve the problems within the community.
She stressed the need for the police to analyse problems and take actions that would enable the people in the community support the police in fighting crime.
DCOP Osei Poku asked the participants to be courteous, fair but firm in the course of their duties.
She expressed the hope that they would share the knowledge acquired with their colleagues.
The course prefect, Lance Corporal Issahaku M. Amadu, said the course had been very beneficial since it had positioned them to deal with any situation in the course of their duties.
On behalf of his colleagues, Lance Corporal Amadu expressed gratitude to the Inspector General of Police and all the police officers who helped to make the course a success.
He, however, appealed to the Police Administration to consider shifting afternoon parades to the mornings.
