The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted 25 police personnel in recognition of their outstanding performance and significant contribution to the fight against crime.
The personnel, drawn from the Bono East, Tema and Western Central Police Regions, were rewarded for their roles in a series of successful operations, including the arrest of suspected armed robbers and the interception of a large consignment of suspected cocaine at the Tema Harbour.
The promotions followed recommendations from the respective commanders, based on the personnel’s exceptional performance, bravery and commitment to maintaining law and order.
Among the operations that earned the officers recognition was the arrest of six suspects allegedly involved in a robbery in which GH¢300,000 was reportedly stolen from a victim along the Portor-Kawempe stretch of the Kintampo-Buipe Highway on July 19, 2026.
Other officers were commended for helping to arrest four suspected members of a robbery syndicate allegedly linked to a violent robbery at Wassa Akropong in the Tarkwa area, where gold miners were reportedly targeted.
Personnel from the Tema Region were also recognised for their role in a major narcotics operation that led to the interception of 866 parcels of suspected cocaine at the Tema Harbour.
Speaking during the recognition ceremony, the IGP said the Police Administration considered it important to acknowledge personnel who distinguished themselves in the line of duty.
He said the recent successes recorded in the three regions demonstrated the commitment and professionalism of the officers in tackling violent crime and other security threats.
Mr Yohuno assured personnel that the Police Administration would continue to identify, recognise and reward officers whose work contributed significantly to the safety and security of the country.
He encouraged the officers to remain dedicated to their duties and continue working in the interest of the Ghanaian people.
“Your hard work will not go unacknowledged,” the IGP assured the personnel, stressing that the recognition was also intended to motivate other officers to give off their best.
The promoted personnel include Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh; General Sergeants Elijah Ndaga Yinimi and Kaifan Sulemanna; General Corporals Owusu Ansah Evans and Tansang Jonathan; and General Lance Corporals Osei Christopher Bonny, Kyei Francis, Ofori Francis, Anim Dominic and Asante Isaac.
Others are General Constables Adam Bakari Alhassan and Bakai Mark; Detective Chief Inspector Frank Dzah; Detective Inspectors Edem Ametowoga, Abroso and Vincent Dankwah; and Detective Sergeants Salifu Yakubu and Samuel Mordzifa.
Six additional personnel were also promoted to their next ranks for their contribution to the fight against crime.
Chief Inspectors Bede Nwinbomeh and Joe Tetteh were further granted automatic entry to the Police Academy.
The IGP and members of the Police Management Board (POMAB) congratulated the promoted personnel and urged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, discipline and integrity.
The Police Administration reiterated its commitment to rewarding hard work and exceptional service, describing the promotions as an incentive for personnel across the country to remain resolute in the fight against crime and the maintenance of peace and security.
