Commissioner of Police in-charge Police Administration, Mr. Ken Yeboah and Reviewing Officer in his speech admonished the fresh Constables to be agents of change and also eschew any unprofessional behaviuor that may bring the image of the service into disrepute: “Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, the image of the Service has sunk low as a result of the unprofessional conduct often exhibited by some personnel of the service. Unprofessional conducts such as extortion and brutalities are virtually reported on regular basis in both the print and electronic media which tends to adversely affect public confidence and bring the image of the service into disrepute.”
COP Mr. Ken Yeboah also used the occasion to encourage the fresh Constables to strive and uplift the image of the service by engaging in professional acts and conducts that will increase public confidence as well as foster coherent partnership with the public.
