Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Charles Torkor, Commandant of Ghana Police Command and Staff College Winneba, has called on personnel in the college to be familiar with their code of ethics, principles and procedures of the service.
He said to make the service simple, they were required to move away from the old order and improve their intelligence in fighting crime, especially by reading books pertaining to their work.
DCOP Mr Torkor made the call while addressing the staff of the college at a ceremony to commemorate their 2017 WASSA held at the college in Winneba.
The Day was used to socialise, take stock of the prevous year and to strategise to forge ahead.
DCOP Mr Torkor urged them to respect the law and the society by continuing to exhibit a high degree of professionalism, discipline and judicious use of discretion in all dealings with members of the public.
He said over 10 Junior and Six Senior Command and Criminal Officers Courses had been held at the college, with over 600 Senior Police Officers having been trained since its establishment four years ago.
He appealed to the Inspector General of Police and the police administration to lobby for funds to improve on the existing infrastructure and to complete the on-going project to reach international standards.
Some Personnel in the Administration, General Duties, Band, Drill and Kitchen departments who excelled during the year under review received certificates for their hard work, commitment and dedication to duty at college.
He congratulated all the personnel of the college especially the award winners and expressed the hope that they would put aside all the negative setbacks, socialise with themselves and discharge their duties according to the objectives of the college.
