The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has implemented a significant reshuffle within the senior command of the Ghana Police Service, effective immediately, as part of initiatives to bolster leadership and improve operational efficiency.
An official announcement from the Police Administration detailed the reassignment of various Commissioners of Police (COPs) and Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCOPs) to new positions throughout the Service.
As part of these changes, COP Dr. Sayibu Pabi Gariba has transitioned from his position as Director General/Technology to take on the role of Director General/NAPD, while COP Iddi Lansah Seidu has been reassigned from Director General/Welfare to Director General/Technology.
Moreover, COP Dr. Vance Baba Gariba has moved from Director General/Operations to Director General/Research and Planning, with COP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe succeeding him as Director General/Operations after his transfer from the Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB).
Additional changes include DCOP Darko Offei Lomotey, who has been reassigned from Director General/Research and Planning to Director General/PPSB, and DCOP Eric Ken Winful, who has been reassigned from Director General/NAPD to Director General/Welfare.
The reshuffle has also impacted several regional and technical commands. DCOP Charles K. Adu has been appointed as the Regional Commander of the Eastern Sector (ESR), while DCOP Isaac Asante has been relocated from the Eastern Region to the National Headquarters.
In the meantime, DCOP George B. Ohene Boadi has taken on the role of Regional Commander of the Central Region, with DCOP George Ankomah moving from Central MTTD/AR to assume the position of Regional Commander of the Eastern North Region (ENR).
In another round of changes, DCOP Alex Kodjo Wowolo, previously the Director of ICT at the National Headquarters, has been designated to lead Central MTTD/AR.
According to the IGP, these postings are part of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening leadership, enhancing operational efficiency, and improving service delivery within the Ghana Police Service.
