Ghana Police Service welcomed nearly twelve hundred new officers after tough training sessions ended. The fresh recruits learned everything from swimming to shooting during their half-year program. More women than men made it through the demanding course with 633 females beating 561 males. These new cops studied law, communication skills, and how to handle rowdy crowds.
Interior Minister Alhaji Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka told the graduates to stay honest and serve people properly. He warned them against using their badges to scare citizens or act like bullies. The minister said courage and humility would make them better officers than force ever could. He reminded everyone that police work means helping communities stay safe.
Six top performers walked away with special prizes for different skills. Sergeant Sophia Elikplim Dedjoe grabbed the best female academic award after crushing her studies. Other winners excelled at physical training, marching, target practice, and water skills. The ceremony drew crowds of family members, retired cops, and community leaders.
Police bosses expressed confidence that these new officers could fight crime effectively. The graduates spent months learning modern police methods and legal procedures. Their training covered everything from child protection to evidence handling. Local chiefs and security officials watched as the recruits officially joined the force.
