As part of the Ghana Police Service’s transformational agenda to improve the delivery of policing services to the public, the Police Service has decentralized criminal clearance services in the country as a first step towards a complete automation process.
Effective Monday, 22nd May 2003, persons seeking criminal clearance can do so in any of the 25 Police regions across the country.
Currently, all criminal background checks are conducted exclusively at the CID Headquarters, Accra, and individuals and organisations who require this service have to travel all the way to Accra just for this purpose.
In order to ease this burden, the criminal clearance service has been decentralized to all twenty-five (25) Police Regions across the country. The service can now be assessed from this location without the need to come to Accra.
