Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), David Asante-Apeatu, has for the third time reshuffled some officers in the police top hierarchy, barely a month after assuming office.
In the latest shake-up, Public Relations Officer for the Ashanti Regional Police Command, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Yusif Mohammed Tanko, has been transferred to the Northern Regional capital, Tamale, to head the Communications Department, while the Public Relations Officer for the Eastern Regional Police Command, Yaw Nketia-Yeboah, has been transferred to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, Kumasi.
The first shake-up by the new IGP saw significant changes at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the service, a unit he once headed.
In that shake-up, the current Director-General of CID, Commissioner of Police (COP), Prosper Agblor, was moved to head the Special Duties Department as the Director General, and his Deputy, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Dennis Ako-Dem, was also moved to the Special Duties Department.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Bright Oduro, was appointed Director General of the CID.
In the second reshuffle, COP Kofi Boakye and COP George Dampare, were transferred to the national headquarters.
COP Kofi Boakye, who was the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, took up the position of Director of Research and Planning, a position which was held by COP Rose Bio Atinga.
