Hon.

He also commended the IGP and his officers for how they are managing the facility.

“Previously, when a police officer completed basic training, he rested and rusted; he did not go for further training telling on his/her professionalism. Now, Police Officers don't only go for series of in-service training, they train with officers of sister-security agencies, collaborate, and work together in the interest of Ghana. We will continue to build on the professionalism of security officers. We also have personnel welfare at heart as a matter of priority” he said.

Hon. Seth Acheampong advised the trainees and also appealed to community members, especially the chiefs and elders of the vicinity to rally support for the camp and for security services.
