Police personnel from three divisions in the Eastern Region convened for a day-long forum dedicated to fostering responsible policing.
The Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) collaborated with the Ghana Police Service in Koforidua to advocate for lawful policing practices rooted in ethical accountability and public responsibility. 40 selected officers from the Koforidua, Akropong, and Akosombo Divisions in the Eastern Region participated in the forum aimed at addressing concerns bordering on human rights and minority rights.
Addressing the participants, Dr Michael Augustus Akabor, Programmes Officer at CDD-Ghana, elaborated on the pragmatic implementation of human rights and the necessity of incorporating minority rights considerations into policing practices.
Emphasising that CDD-Ghana's mission encompasses the promotion of good governance, inclusive development, and democratic accountability throughout Ghana and the African continent, he asserted that it is imperative for law enforcement agencies to adopt a quality management system that would ensure consistency, equity, and enhanced efficacy in the execution of their duties.
