The Ghana Police service today [Thursday] March 1, 2018, reassigned some of its senior personnel.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In all, 11 reassignments were made according\u00a0to a\u00a0statement signed by the Director-General of Police Public Affairs, ACP David Eklu.<\/p>\n

The statement said Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, Director General of Police Operations, will now head the Police Research and Planning Department.<\/p>\n

He is to be replaced immediately by the Eastern Regional Police Commander, DCOP Simon Afeku.<\/p>\n

Rev. David Nenyi Ampah-Benin, Central Regional Commander is now the Director-General of Police Special Duties.<\/p>\n
