This is the second time in less than a week that the law enforcement agency has taken severe action against its personnel for alleged misbehavior. On February 2, 2024, General Corporal Wise Bessey of the Takoradi District Police Command was interdicted for allegedly assaulting a member of the public in Takoradi, Western Region.
Corporal Bessey’s interdiction, like that of Chief Inspector Kuwornu, is meant to allow for a comprehensive investigation of the incident and the officer’s professional conduct in accordance with Police Service Regulations.
Dr George Akuffo Dampare, Inspector-General of Police (IGP), contacted the victim of the alleged attack and told him that the Police would provide him with the required assistance and conduct a comprehensive investigation into the event.
These measures show a proactive attitude to investigating any misbehavior and holding officers accountable for their actions. By conducting thorough investigations and assisting victims, the Police Service demonstrates its commitment to serving the community with integrity and transparency.
