The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare has asked Ghanaians to stop judging them with their past as he insists the service has snow turned a new leaf.
According to him, the citizenry should revise their security notes because the police administration has repositioned itself for the better.
Speaking at an induction ceremony of some newly registered pharmacists in Accra, Dr Akuffo Dampare, reassured of his outfit’s resolve to regain the trust and respect of the public as officers discharge their duties effectively.
“We are pleading with you, let go of our past and let us be. We understand we lost your trust, we lost your confidence and your respect, but we are going to bring them back. So please, don’t continue to judge us by our past and by extension even insult us because this is the police we all have as a nation”, he said.
The IGP believes gaining the confidence and trust of the public will aid the service in executing its mandate of fighting crime and protecting citizens.
He added that a thorough introspection by the service is now translating into personnel who will uphold disciple, integrity, and accountability in the discharge of their duties.
“We have done several introspections, and we know where the problems are. That is why we can convince ourselves that we are the best institution. So bear with us and encourage us because if you have a child, and you don’t speak good about the child, the child will not turn out to be good. So irrespective of how painful our past historical issues have been, if you want to be biblical, we say we have been born again”, he stated.
