The Inspector-General of Police revealed yesterday, August 11 2022, at a public lecture that Ghana has plans to implement a virtual police station to enable the public to submit complaints online.
It will be a part of measures to ensure that the police provide excellent service as part of its transformation goal, according to Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
Dampare added that the police administration would continue to deny accusations that it is the nation’s most corrupt organization.
“You just make you complain virtually and then we will send you all the information. And we can even virtually also invite the suspect which is data processing.
“And we evaluate and think that it is something that we can virtually do it than to show up at the police station and be unattended to and all that. So, we have a lot of work to do, but internally with a press of a button you can send messages to every police officer across the country instantly,” the police chief said.
“From headquarters to regional level we send documents electronically that we need not to find people to come pick it up and do that,” Dampare added.
Dampare added that the police administration would continue to deny accusations that it is the nation’s most corrupt organization.
“They say we are corrupt,” he said. “A problem identified is half the solution, we’ve never said that there are not a couple of people who are doing things in a corrupt way, tarnishing the image of the service, we have never said that.”
He added that the Ghana Police Service is doing all it can to never accept the label of being the most corrupt institution in the corrupt.
“At the appropriate time we will keep responding to them, but we will also keep working at the things that people will over the years have used against us and make us feel uncomfortable when it comes to the issue of corruption,” he added.
