The Ghana Police Service has introduced shuttle services for its personnel.

The intervention is meant to facilitate the movement of personnel to and from their places of residence to various duty points.

The programme which has been implemented in fifteen (15) out of the eighteen (18) Police Operational Regions is intended to ease the burden of commute on officers, as well as to ensure that personnel who carry weapons for duty, do so under safe conditions.

The police in a post on Facebook on Thursday morning, October 14, 2021, said the Police Administration has deployed buses on designated routes with pick-up and drop off points to ensure the safe and easy transportation of personnel, especially during the rush hour when movement along the roads is usually a struggle.

It said the police administration had received complaints from some members of the public who had expressed concern about the practice of police personnel boarding commercial vehicles with weapons and the possible danger posed to other occupants of these vehicles.

The police administration also noted that the spectacle of uniformed officers struggling to get on board vehicles during the rush hour is not good for morale in the service and does not inspire public confidence in the police.

“The Administration is certain the shuttle service will reduce these concerns and ensure that both the police officers and the commuting public go about their duties in safety and dignity,” it noted, adding “It is also expected to give some respite to officers and further boost their morale for enhanced performance.”
