The Ghana Police Service has assured the public of comprehensive security arrangements nationwide ahead of activities marking Wednesday, 31 December, as Ghanaians usher in the New Year.
In a statement, the Police said personnel have been deployed across communities, major towns, entertainment centres and along key highways to ensure the safety of persons and property, while maintaining public order. Patrols have also been intensified as part of measures to deter crime during the festivities.
Traffic officers will be stationed at major intersections to regulate traffic and facilitate the smooth movement of vehicles and pedestrians throughout the period. Special security arrangements have further been put in place at churches, event grounds and other public venues expected to attract large crowds for end-of-year activities.
The Service has called on the public to cooperate fully with officers on duty, remain vigilant and look out for neighbours, particularly those who may be away from home.
Members of the public are encouraged to promptly report any suspicious activity to the Police via 0302773906, 18555, 191 or 112 for immediate response.
The Ghana Police Service wished all residents a safe, peaceful and happy New Year celebration.
