THE Eastern Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Ransford Moses Ninson has stated that the decision to conduct examinations for inspectors and chief inspectors for entry into the Police College is not to punish them but rather to select the best for the officer corps.
That, he said, was due to the fact that policing had become complex and officers had to carry out their duties in line with international standards.
DCOP Ninson gave the clarification when he addressed 31 inspectors undergoing a month’s refresher course in Koforidua at the weekend.
The participants, who were stationed in the region, were being prepared to write an examination for selection to the Police College.
DCOP Ninson said most often, some personnel of the police service did not approach learning for an examination with seriousness because they had the wrong notion that some of their colleagues paid money in order to pass the examination.
He, therefore, asked the participants to discard such a notion and learn hard to pass the examination to enter the college.
“Most often, some personnel of the service do not approach learning towards the examination with the seriousness it deserves because they have a wrong impression that some personnel pay money in order to pass the examination.
“If you approach the examination with such a notion, then you have already failed in advance so discard such a notion and learn very hard that your effort will be crowned with success”, DCOP Ninson stated.
With regard to the writing of examination for promotions within the police service, DCOP Ninson said he personally supported that idea because it enabled the personnel to be imbibed with new ideas to enhance performance whether one was promoted or not.
He gave the assurance that the police administration had taken the necessary steps to prevent leakaged associated with the examsinations.
