Anti-Robbery Taskforce in the Bono East Region Commended for Crime Fighting
Today, the Police Administration (PA) wants to commend and celebrate the Anti-Robbery Taskforce (ART) led by Superintendent Al-Meyao Abass Kwarasey for their work in fighting all forms of robbery in the Bono East Region.
Their operational work, which is one of the initiatives of the current PA, has been adequately complemented by the Bono East Regional Command led by DCOP Moses Asabagna Atibillah and the Command is duly commended as well.
Their intelligence-led operations holistically cut across the region with mounted presence and constant patrols on the routes of Techiman-Kintampo-Buipe, Kintampo-New Longoro-Techiman, Kintampo-Zamrama-Prang-Yeji and Atebubu-Kwame Danso-Kajeji among others.
Over the last month, the aggressive operations in the area and other regions have drastically reduced highway robberies and other serious offences.
As part of their operations, the team regularly meets chiefs and members of the communities in the region to deepen the partnership in a collective effort to fight crime.
We therefore commend the chiefs and people in all regions for their support and cooperation in combatting crime.
Fighting crime remains a partnership and the police are deeply committed to fighting crime with the help of the public.
