The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has begun a series of engagements with police officers across the regions to review performance, address operational challenges and introduce new investigative technologies.
According to the Ghana News Agency, the Director-General of the CID, Commissioner of Police Lydia Yaako Donkor, disclosed this during a visit to the Central North Police Region at Assin Fosu, after an earlier engagement with officers of the Central East Police Region at Kasoa.
COP Donkor said the engagements focus on detectives and aim to review achievements in crime investigations, encourage better performance and introduce officers to new technologies acquired by the CID.
She stressed intelligence gathering, digital forensics and international cooperation in identifying, investigating and prosecuting offenders.
Responding to concerns about transport challenges facing the cybercrime unit in the Central North region, she said the CID was considering assigning specific regions to investigators at its headquarters so cybercrime cases from those areas can be handled more efficiently.
She also urged the public to report grievances to police commanders through established channels rather than going straight to the media. The CID has not said when the regional engagements will be completed.
