The Chief Executive of Sunyani based NGO, Access to Justice, Rev. Nana Adjei Ntow, has commended the B/A Regional Police Command for its exemplary work within the last twelve months under the command of DCOP Kwaku Ayensu Opare-Addo and Sunyani Disrict Commander, Chief Inspector Christian Tettey Yohuno.
"The B/A regional Police and especially the Sunyani District Police have indeed been proactive and prevented several serious crimes without which the region would never have been as peaceful as it is now", Nana Adjei Ntow told Space FM in Sunyani.
He added that some suspected armed robbers and other criminals have been arrested to protect properties and lives in the Sunyani municipality.
"Instant justices (lynching) have been prevented to save innocent lives while offenders have been prosecuted. Civil liberties have been protected by the Sunyani Municipal Police command", he noted.
Rev. Ntow pointed out that in an instance, the Regional Commander DCOP K.A. Opare-Addo, personally intervened with his private vehicle whilst off duty to save the life of a juvenile who was about to be lynched as a suspected robber.
He said some senior detectives at the Sunyani district police command have put the profession above their own health needs.
"Serious bloody clashes have been avoided at Atronie, just to mention a few. This undoubtedly is a clear demonstration of genuine dedication needed for Ghana to move forward as far as law enforcement and the rule of law is concerned", he said.
Rev. Ntow said another distinguished professional character of the Sunyani Police Boss is that "he always carefully listens to both sides of every dispute that is brought to him before he decides on what to do".
This laudable conduct has not always been the case with the B/A Police until the current administration took over.
“Access to Justice” has observed that the general public has not been as quick in encouraging the police service as they do in condemning it when something goes wrong".
"We therefore wish to remind the general public that the police officers depend upon us in solving crimes and maintaining peace, and so we should all support the police in the fight against crime".
Our only advice to the B/A Police Service, is to keep it up and never be distracted by anyone, because “good deeds are usually written on water and the bad ones on brass”.
