It is always the expectation of families especially parents to reap the fruits of labor after they toil to ensure a family member gets a desired job.
These financial or material expectations are realized either on request or through undue demands from the earnings of the relative.
In order to satisfy the family’s needs and wants, some individuals have ended up engaging in corrupt acts contrary to their professional ethics just to please family members.
Some of these undue demands from family members are not limited to relatives who secure jobs in the security services and are under oath to protect and serve the country.
It is against this backdrop that the Director-General in charge of Police Welfare, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has observed that the high demands from families of police recruits have been an issue that affects professional policing in the country.
According to COP Addo-Danquah, undue financial demands from family members of police officers tends to lure the security officers to engage in unprofessional conduct which could jeopardize their profession.
The Director-General in charge of Police Welfare, has therefore given a word of advice to families of police recruits who pass out as police officers to offer the needed support and help for them to effectively maintain law and order in the country.
Madam Addo-Danquah reminded, the graduating officers that the profession they have chosen is not a highly motivated one yet very demanding and as such they must be guided by the oath they have taken to serve mother Ghana with integrity.
She made these remarks during the passing out of 581 police recruits at the Police Public Safety Training School at Pwalugu in the Upper East region.
