The Chief of Staff at the Presidency, Julius Debrah, has urged the Ghana Police Service to prioritise crime prevention as the bedrock of modern policing.
He said the country must shift from reactive policing to proactive strategies grounded in visibility, intelligence-led operations, and strong community partnerships, which required rebuilding trust and expanding early warning systems across communities.
The Chief of Staff said this at the launch of a book, titled: "An Aroma of Policing: A Life of Service in Law Enforcement and Global Peacekeeping", authored by Mohammed Ahmed Alhassan, a former Inspector General of Police.
The 681-page book has 36 chapters, which focus on the humble beginnings of the author, his role in shaping the Police Service and community policing.
