Police, GIS join Hands

The Daily Graphic reports in its lead story that personnel of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have been roped in to support the Police in combating the recent spate of armed robberies. The decision to include personnel of the Immigration Service was taken last Friday at a meeting held by the security agencies to evolve strategies to combat the recent scourge of crime.

A source close to the meeting told the paper that a possible involvement of foreigners in the armed robberies brought to the fore the role GIS can play in the process.

The source said 21 more vehicles have been released to augment the present fleet of operational vehicles of the police with many more expected to be released in the next few weeks.

It disclosed that Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Yaw Adu- Gyimah, was asked to take over from Mr V.V. K. Agbenatoe, as the second in command in-charge of Police Operations.
