The Ghana Police Service has reaffirmed its commitment to addressing what it describes as a downward trend in police investigations across the country.
The assurance was made at the opening of the Regional Crime Officers Conference of the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID), held at the Sunlodge Hotel in Tesano, Accra, on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
Inspector-General of Police Christian Tettey Yohunu said the Police Administration is focused on strengthening investigative capacity and restoring public confidence in the work of the CID.
The conference brings together regional crime officers to review investigative practices and promote professionalism within the Service.
“As the head of the Ghana Police Service, I am committed to reversing this trend and enhancing our investigative capabilities. I am convinced that together we can boost public confidence in our service. Our crime statistics paint a concerning picture about the decline in the quality and success rate of investigations, which undermines public trust. This trend is unacceptable, and we must take collective responsibility to improve it,” he said.
