service was provided with the required logistics to effectively combat crime.
“On Monday, 15th August 2022, I presented 1,500
motorbikes to the Police Service. It is yet a further affirmation of the
commitment of the Akufo-Addo government to provide the Police Service with the
necessary logistics it requires, to help the Service continue to effect its
mandate of maintaining law and order, and protecting lives and property.”

the acquisition of additional motorbikes, which will see government increase
the number of motorbikes presented to 5,000 by the end of next year.

just the beginning. More and more motorbikes will come in soon, to help ensure
that every single community in the country benefits from the enhanced community
policing model.
“Government will increase the number of motorbikes
presented by Government to five thousand (5,000) by the end of next year.”
President Akufo-Addo, subsequently charged the IGP
to ensure that, no community is left out as far as the distribution of the
motorbikes are concerned. This is to enhance the community policing model
currently being practiced by the service. He finally, asked that, officers take
care of the motorbikes; ensuring their safety and the safety of road users on
the road.
“I urged the IGP to help ensure that no community
is left out in the distribution of these bikes, even as the Police Service
prioritises the areas that are most critical.
“I entreat officers who will use these bikes to
take good care of them but, more importantly, to pay particular attention to
their safety and the safety of other road users while on the road.”
