Groups in Kenyasi are asking for new police officers to be sent to their community. They believe this will help stop the rise in crime.
The groups say some police officers have been in Kenyasi for a very long time. This is troubling for the people in the Ahafo Region.
Frank Kofi Adusei, chairman of the Omanbotantim Association, spoke about the issue. He said that having the same officers for too long might not be helping.
The civic groups feel that bringing in new police members could improve safety. They think fresh faces and new approaches are needed.
Their main goal is to see a decrease in criminal activity in Kenyasi. They are urging officials to consider their request for officer transfers.
