The Ghana Police Service has received 40 armoured vehicles from the government to boost its operational capacity and improve public safety.
The vehicles were handed over at a brief ceremony on Thursday, December 4, attended by President John Dramani Mahama, Interior Minister Muntaka Mubarak, and senior police officials.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohunu expressed appreciation to the government, noting that the additional resources would strengthen the Service’s emergency response and crime-fighting efforts.
He pledged that the vehicles would be properly maintained and deployed to support policing across the country.
“We sincerely thank the government for prioritising our welfare. Our assurance is that the vehicles will be well-maintained and strategically deployed to achieve their intended objectives,” the IGP said.
The government’s presentation forms part of ongoing efforts to equip security agencies with the tools needed to maintain law and order.
The IGP encouraged officers to use the new assets responsibly as they work to protect lives and property nationwide.
