“These developments in the police private security front is part of the police’s transformation agenda which is inspired by our vision to be a world-class police service capable of delivering planned, democratic, protective and peaceful services up to the standards of international best practices.”

He added the goal of the transformation program is to make the Ghana Police the best service in Africa, and one of the top 10 organizations in the world within 4 years.
