Event planners have received assurances from Inspector-General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare that security will be provided for all events held in December and beyond by the police.
The Police will collaborate closely with event planners nationwide, according to the IGP, to guarantee that every security concern is taken care of completely.
The IGP stated that the police hope that event organizers will have the confidence to host events throughout the year since the police will be ready to protect citizens present. He made this statement while speaking to members of the Ghana Tourism Authority and event organizers at the Police Headquarters in Accra on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
“We believe that events in Ghana should go beyond December because we are always ready to protect you and the patrons of your event. Tourism is a huge boost for the economy and we should try and hold major events across the country throughout the year because the police will protect you and your events,” the IGP said.
Kwasi Agyeman, the chief executive officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, thanked the IGP for the police’s support of forthcoming activities.
“I’m overwhelmed. This is unprecedented. It never happened that we had the privilege to meet the management of the police. IGP and your team we thank you so much for the opportunity to interact with you and to share experiences that we have”.
In order to guarantee public safety in advance of the holiday season, the Ghana Police Service has been collaborating with a number of organizations in recent weeks.
