Though the number of personnel could not be disclosed for security reasons, the move, she said, was to ensure calmness and protect the citizenry from further lawless acts by perpetrators who sought to disrupt peace and stability in the country.
ACP Ansah-Akrofi made these known in Accra yesterday at a press conference organised by the National Election Security Task Force (NESTF) to discuss measures to ensure peace and security after the elections.
ACP Ansah -Akrofi said the police had recorded pockets of violent incidents in three regions out of the 16 regions in the country.
