As part of efforts to improve on its crime-fighting tactics, the Ghana Police Service has launched a website and the social media platforms.

The Inspector General of Police, Asante Appeatu speaking at the launch indicated that there is the need for the Service to consciously engage active internet users who constitute about 35% of the population to help fight crime effectively.

He said “With an estimate of almost 10 million internet users in Ghana, that is about 35% of our population, and about 4 million Facebook subscribers and much more on social media messaging channels, the police service recognizes the need to tap into such potential as a significant medium to reaching out to the public”.

He added that “In addition, the use of an organisational website to educate and update the public, solicit information or alert people to situations such as missing and wanted persons cannot be underestimated in this contemporary policing”.

 The police service’s official website is www.police.gov.gh.com and @ghpoliceservice for social handles such as Twitter and Instagram, whiles for Facebook, the account name is Ghana Police Service.
