In a move to bolster national security and support Ghana’s ambitious 24-hour economy, 545 new police recruits passed out, comprising 298 females and 247 males, at the Ashanti Regional Police Training School in Kumasi.

The event underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring safe, round-the-clock operations across critical sectors.

The Director-General of Services at the Ghana Police Service, COP Dr. Ernest Kwabena Owusu, speaking at the ceremony, emphasised the critical role the police will play in supporting the government’s 24-hour economy initiative.

The graduates form part of a larger recruitment drive aimed at expanding Ghana’s public safety personnel in line with 24‑hour economy objectives—fueling extended shifts in commerce, manufacturing, agriculture, hospitality, and public services.

He said “The Ghana Police Service has a cardinal role to play. The police will be expected to provide the needed security to ensure that the citizenry and everyone are well protected at all times. In line with its proactive measures, the police administration has established a new unit at the headquarters known as the 24-Hour Economy Security Secretariat to support this effort.”

The newly sworn‑in officers will join a specially formed 24-hour police unit tasked with intensified patrols and technologically supported night‑time surveillance, key to securing marketplaces, manufacturing zones, tourism hubs, and entertainment districts operating beyond daylight hours.

Their deployment reflects a broader multi-agency strategy.

The commissioning complements milestones announced earlier this year, including 24‑hour services in key public agencies—such as passport offices and the DVLA—alongside legislative amendments to bolster the legal framework for extended‑hour operations.

President Mahama reiterated that the 24-hour economy policy aims to create jobs, boost productivity, and transform Ghana’s economic structure, with this security reinforcement forming a vital pillar of that ambition.
