Police detectives drilled for indiscipline

Accra (Greater Accra) -- Sixty selected Police Detectives drawn from the regions to participate in a five-day course in Criminal Intelligence and Crime Statistics were on Monday drilled in the conference room of the Ghana Police College for lack of discipline and sense of purpose.

This followed a poor self-introduction by the Detectives, who were attending a course to equip them to create special criminal intelligence unit in every region to serve as information gathering point to enhance the Police analysis and evaluation of crimes, criminals and their associates.

"Let us see that you are Policemen and Policewomen before we go out from here," Mr Kwesi Nkansa, Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Administration, told the participants.

"Your drills are poor. It seems you have forgotten about your depot training as Police officers. You must go back and rehearse," he added. Mr Nkansa, who ordered for the drills, said the officers lack of understanding of basic rules on self- introduction was unacceptable and, therefore, a demonstration of poor discipline.
