At about 1am on the morning of 9th October 2012, we heard our next-door neighbours shouting
"Akronfuoo, akronfuoo, akronfuoo!". It was immediately followed by a
phone call from them alerting us to the fact that the burglar had
jumped into our place.
So we immediately called the Ghana Police Service. Within ten minutes,
a patrol team (Monitors Accra Team 1 - telephone number:
0243536898) had arrived to answer our distress call.
As a people we are fond of condemning the Ghana Police Service in
blanket fashion. Yet, on a daily basis, they work round the clock
risking their lives to keep us safe and secure.
I did notice that they had a brand new Toyota Landcruiser - clearly a
factor in their ability to respond so quickly to our distress call.
It is important that we ensure that the Ghanaian nation-state constantly
strives to equip the Ghana Police Service regularly - particularly
empowering them to communicate whiles on the move.
Although the burglar had disappeared by the time they appeared on the
scene, my neighbours and I were relieved and pleased that they showed
up.
My neighbours and I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the police officers who came to our rescue so quickly.
They were very professional in their approach. Indeed, to reassure us,
they even returned again after a while - to make sure we were actually
free of the intruder.
We would like to commend the police officers who constituted that 1am 9th
October 2012 Accra Monitors Team 1, to the Inspector General
of Police (IGP). He can be proud of them - for they are examples of the
very best in the Ghana Police Service.
We salute them!
