This development comes after the removal of Dr. George Akuffo Dampare from office, with sources suggesting that the move is part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at reshaping the leadership and operational direction of the country’s law enforcement agency.
Dr. Dampare, who was appointed IGP in 2021, played a crucial role in implementing key policing reforms. During his tenure, the Ghana Police Service introduced various initiatives aimed at improving public trust and security, including enhanced community engagement, internal discipline measures, and a focus on professionalizing the service.
Security experts and analysts have credited him with contributing to a reduction in crime and fostering greater accountability within the force.
As COP Christian Yohuno assumes the role of IGP, expectations remain high regarding the direction of policing in Ghana. With over 40 years of experience in law enforcement, COP Yohuno is widely regarded as an outstanding officer, known for his exceptional leadership and dedication to combating crime.
His appointment is expected to usher in a new era of professionalism and efficiency within the Ghana Police Service.
