COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno
President John Dramani Mahama has urged the newly sworn-in Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to uphold the highest levels of integrity and accountability in the police service.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the new IGP at the Jubilee House on Friday, March 14, 2025, President Mahama stated that Ghanaians expect a police administration that is disciplined, fair, and in tune with modern technologies.
“They (Ghanaians) want to see a police service that is not only professional and disciplined but also one that is fair and just. They want to be reassured that when they report crimes, they will receive a swift and impartial response. They want to trust that the police service will act in their best interest, free from undue influence and without discrimination.
“To achieve this, IGP, your leadership must be rooted in integrity, discipline, and innovation. The Ghana Police Service must continue to reform itself to meet the needs of our ever-changing society. Intelligence-led policing, community engagement, and effective deployment of modern technology must be at the core of our law enforcement strategy.”
He further tasked COP Tetteh Yohuno with tackling corruption in the police service.
“IGP, your role will also involve rooting out corruption within the service. Corruption in law enforcement undermines justice and weakens public confidence in our security agencies. It is crucial that all forms of unethical behavior, from bribery to the abuse of power, are decisively dealt with. We must build a service that is respected both locally and internationally for its professionalism and integrity,” he stated.
