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.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
