Don’t compromise on professionalism – E/R Police Commander - See more at: http:/
The Eastern Regional Police Commander, DCOP
Peterkin Yentumi Gynae, has urged police personnel
in the Eastern Region to continually exhibit
professionalism in discharging their duties in the
region in this new year and beyond.

The commander said this while addressing a
parade organized by the police command to usher
in the New year at the forecourt of the Eastern
Regional Police Headquarters in Koforidua.

He said “just putting on the uniform does not
make you a police officer, but rather what comes
out from you makes your profession worthy, try as
much as possible to be highly professional and
exhibit the professionalism you were thought at
the training school to bring repute to our
work.”

The commander added that “you have been trained
for a special duty which comes along with ethics,
rules and regulations, so we implore you all to
go by the rules of our profession to the highest
limits in discharging your duties as service
personnel.”

He then heaped praises on their efforts in the
past years, and urged them to do better this
year.

Briefing the media after the parade, DCOP Peterkin
Yentumi Gynae said the police command has been
able to control the operations of galamsey and
chieftaincy issues in the region, saying “I
am proud to say that in 2016, chieftaincy
and galamsey issues went down so well in this
region and we intend to improve upon it. It is
not a one sided affair, the heat comes up and we
quickly go in to restore calm for peace to
prevail, but there’s still more to do in the
coming days.”

DCOP Peterkin Yentumi Gynae, who also spoke on the
issue of Fulani Heardsmen destroying farms in
the region, said the command has controlled it and
is still strategizing to eradicate it.

“I arrived in the region at the latter part of
the year, and I can tell you we did not experience
so many issues with nomadic fulani herdsmen,
together with the regional security council, we
have worked assiduously to control it and we are
still strategizing to eradicate the problem. Two
months ago we met with all stakeholders and we
took some decisions on this issues so I hope the
decisions we took will be adhered to by all the
stakeholders.”

The command also organized an inter-unit
football gala to appreciate the hard work the
personnel put up in ensuring a peaceful 2016
elections in the region.

ASP Yaw Nketiah Yeboah in an interview with Citi
News said “the aim of the football gala is
to refresh and further strengthen the already
existing unity and love between the various units
and also to appreciate our men for the gallant way
they exhibited professionalism during the recently
held election.”
