In a bold move aimed at revitalizing the Ghana Police Service, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno has enacted a comprehensive reorganization of the police leadership. This restructuring, communicated through an official letter signed by IGP Yohuno, involves the reassignment of several senior officers occupying pivotal directorate roles.
One of the notable changes includes the transition of COP Dr. Sayibu Pabi Gariba, who previously held the position of Director General for Technology, to now oversee the National Protection Directorate (NAPD). This shift is part of a broader strategy to enhance operational efficiency within the service.
Additionally, several regional police commanders have also been impacted by this reshuffle. For instance, DCOP Charles K. Adu has been appointed as the Regional Commander for the Eastern Sector (ESR), and DCOP Isaac Asante has been moved from the Eastern Region to a position at the National Headquarters.
Here is a detailed overview of the leadership realignments:
- COP Dr. Sayibu Pabi Gariba: From Director General/Technology to Director General/NAPD
- COP Iddi Lansah Seidu: From Director General/Welfare to Director General/Technology
- COP Dr. Vance Baba Gariba: From Director General/Operations to Director General/Research & Planning
- COP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe: From Director General/PPSB to Director General/Operations
- DCOP Darko Offei Lomotey: From Director General/Research & Planning to Director General/PPSB
- DCOP Eric Ken Winful: From Director General/NAPD to Director General/Welfare
- DCOP Charles K. Adu: New Regional Commander for the Eastern Sector (ESR)
- DCOP Isaac Asante: Transitioning from Eastern Region to National Headquarters
- DCOP George B. Ohene Boadi: Appointed as the new Regional Commander for the Central Region (CR)
- DCOP George Ankomah: From Central MTTD/AR to Regional Commander for the Eastern Region (ENR)
- DCOP Alex Kodjo Wowolo: From Director/ICT at National Headquarters to overseeing Central MTTD/AR
This strategic shift in police leadership is expected to bolster the operational capabilities of the Ghana Police Service, as it strives to address contemporary challenges in law enforcement.
