Speaking at an event organised by the Methodist Church, Dampare emphasised the importance of having a successor who is not only capable but also better than him, to prevent the erosion of the progress made by his team. He shared, "My greatest fear in both life and my profession is stepping down from my current position and not having someone more capable to continue the work." Dampare further explained his concern, stating, "I often pray that if our efforts as a team cannot lead to the appointment of someone better than us to sustain and build upon our achievements, then what is the point? If someone less capable takes over, they could undo all our hard work." He urged the public to pray for the police service, hoping that future leaders will not only maintain but also improve upon the foundation laid by his administration. "We don't want to be used as a benchmark to criticise those who follow. Instead, we hope the next leaders will build on what we've accomplished, for the benefit of everyone and to the glory of God," he concluded. Meanwhile, Major General David Taluvu (rtd), the Sierra Leonean Minister of Internal Affairs, has praised the Ghana Police Service, stating that its quality has set a new standard for policing in Africa.
