Police shakes up: IGP is responsible for the betterment of the Police service- Hon. Toobu
Member of Parliament for Wa West Hon. Supt. Peter Lanchene Toobu (Rtd) has stated that, shakes up in the Police Service are normal within themselves.
According to him, the Inspector General of Police is responsible for the betterment of the Police service.
He added that, one must pass through a lot of test within the Police service before been appointed as the IGP.
He noted that, there are a lot of multi talents within the Police service hence it’s the responsibility of the IGP to notice that and make use of that talent.
His comments come after the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, rung the changes barely a week after assuming office.
According to high-placed sources, some 30 senior officers have been affected by the shake-up by Dr Akuffo Dampare.

COP Tiwaa Addo-Danquah’s position has been taken over by DCOP Habiba Twumasi Sarpong, who until this shake-up was the Commander of the Central Regional Police Command.
Former Accra Regional Commander COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno has been moved from Special Duties to Administration with COP Edward Tabiri moved to head ICT from Police Intelligence.
