The Municipal Chief Executive of Kwadaso Assembly, Eric Assibey, has highlighted the urgent need for residents and the police to work together. This partnership is seen as key to controlling the increase in criminal activities within the municipality.
Mr. Assibey, who also heads the municipality’s security council, made these remarks on March 27, 2026. He stated that a united front is essential for effective crime prevention and law enforcement.
He urged citizens across Ghana to actively support their local security agencies. This support is vital for the police to carry out their duties effectively and maintain peace in communities.
The MCE did not provide specific crime statistics but acknowledged a rise in criminal incidents. He believes that by sharing information and working collaboratively, both residents and the police can create a safer environment.
This call for partnership comes as crime remains a concern in many urban areas. The MCE's initiative aims to build trust and improve communication channels between law enforcement and the public they serve.
Authorities believe that community policing strategies can lead to better intelligence gathering and quicker response times. This approach empowers residents to be vigilant and report suspicious activities.
The initiative focuses on proactive measures rather than solely reactive ones. It seeks to foster a sense of shared responsibility for public safety.
Further details on specific programs or initiatives stemming from this call for partnership are expected.
