Koforidua, Nov 27, -The Ghana
Police Service is to recruit 15,000 Community Policing Assistants through the
Youth Employment Agency (YEA).
The youth who would be employed
would be from the communities and focus would be on those who are familiar with
their communities and could help the police in gathering intelligence to help
reduce crime in the country.
This was disclosed by the
Director of the National Police Patrol Department (NPD), Commissioner of Police
(COP) Akuribah Yaagy at a meeting with police personnel at Koforidua.
He said the new policing concept
would bring about development because once the communities were safe the
President’s vision of one village one dam, planting for food and jobs and one
district one factory policies would be successful.
He said it is only when the
communities are safe that investors would be motivated to invest in the
country.
