The Ghana Police Service wants cybercrime victims to report incidents immediately. They advise against waiting for police stations to open the next day.
Delays in reporting can make it harder for police to recover stolen funds and investigate online fraud effectively. This is according to a statement from the Ghana Police Service.
Terence Ade-Adams, a Digital Forensic Examiner with the Ghana Police Service, highlighted the urgency. He is also a Cybercrime Investigator and Instructor.
He explained that quick action is crucial in cybercrime cases. This allows investigators to act fast and potentially trace digital footprints before they disappear.
The police service is working to improve response times for cybercrime reports. They encourage the public to use available channels to report incidents as soon as they happen.
Victims should note down all relevant details, including dates, times, and any communication received from fraudsters.
This information is vital for a thorough investigation. The Ghana Police Service is committed to fighting cybercrime.
