MTTD to be restructured to meet international standards – IGP
The Inspector General of Police, David
Asante-Apeatu, has said that his administration
will work to revamp the Motor Transport and
Traffic Directorate (MTTD) of the service, to meet
international standards. According to him, the
directorate will now serve a dual purpose of
protecting lives and also ensuring that the
service regains the trust of the public.

Asante-“Let me assure you that the Ghana Police
Service remains committed to enforcing road
traffic regulation without fear or favour. As part
of Ghana Police reformation strategies, the Motor
Traffic and Transport Directorate will undergo a
robust restructuring. The objective is to
establish a more professional and civil oriented
Motor Traffic and Transport Department that will
effectively discharge its mandate without
reproach,” he said.

Mr. Asante-Apeatu announced that, he had directed
a nationwide recruitment and retraining process to
equip officers of the MTTD with the skill to
deliver on their mandate.

“The department deserves a new look. In this
regard, I have directed a nationwide internal
recruitment, screening, and retraining of all
personnel who will constitute the MTTD. When this
is done, I’m expecting nothing but world-class
police officers, who better serve all of us road
users.”

He further expressed the hope that following the
restructuring process, the MTTD will deal
decisively with recalcitrant road users.

“I’m expecting a traffic department that will
decisively deal with recalcitrant and reckless
road users. Above all, I’m expecting a traffic
police department that will add more value to our
work.”
