In a swift turn of events, Commissioner of Police (COP) Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has been reassigned to the Interior Ministry as a Technical Adviser to the Minister of the Interior, just hours after being named as the Director-General of Research & Planning at the Ghana Police Service.

The reassignment was confirmed in a letter from the Presidency, which outlined her new role and responsibilities.

"In line with this directive, you are hereby reassigned from your current position to the Ministry of the Interior, where you will serve as the Technical Advisor to the Honorable Minister. This reassignment takes immediate effect, and you are expected to liaise with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth transition into your new role," the letter signed by Callistus Mahama, Secretary to the President stated.

"His Excellency the President recognizes and deeply appreciates your unwavering dedication, professionalism, and invaluable contributions to the nation. It is his firm belief that your expertise and commitment will continue to serve the country effectively in your new capacity".

The latest shake-up comes as part of a broader restructuring within the Ghana Police Service, led by Inspector-General of Police (IGP) COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, who recently announced several reassignments aimed at improving leadership and operational efficiency in the Police Management Board (POMAB).

Before this reassignment, COP Addo-Danquah recently returned to the Police Service after serving as the Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). During her tenure at EOCO, she led efforts to combat financial crimes and corruption.

She also previously held the position of Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), where she played a key role in several high-profile investigations.

In her new role at the Interior Ministry, COP Addo-Danquah will be expected to liaise with key stakeholders to support policy formulation and security strategies aimed at enhancing law enforcement operations in Ghana.
