Tema police intensifies patrols during Christmas
For criminals, the festive seasons are good opportunities to carry out their activities.
However, the Tema Regional Police Command has said that it has put stringent measures in place to ensure that crime is brought to its barest minimum.
In an interview with The Spectator, the Deputy Regional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Mr Baba Saanid Adamu said that there had been an increase in motorbike patrols within the metropolis and towns as an effective strategy to fight crime.
He said the Police would be as visible and accessible as possible to the public and so they should make the best out of the crime fighters.
He disclosed that the Command had resolved to deal with any emerging situation and gave the public an assurance that it was on top of criminal activities but needed their support to help deal”.
ACP Mr. Adamu was, however, unhappy that most citizens took their personal security for granted.
“Nobody can protect you better than yourself and so always take your personal security seriously because security begins with you the individual ” he said.
He was optimistic that the sensitisation so far given in churches and other social gatherings would arm the citizenry with measures to take when faced with challenges to ensure they were safe.
He said it was also important for people to use the Police emergency numbers 191 and 18555 because those numbers were always accessible for a team on standby to come to their aid.
ACP Adamu said that the practice of calling individual police when under threat was not as dependable sometimes so the emergency numbers should be used often.
