The Ghana Police Service has received more than 100 biometric verification devices and mobile management software valued at $2 million to combat crime more effectively.
Margins ID Group is the benefactor.
Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who handed over the equipment, said the gesture was in line with the government’s agenda to use digitalisation to help solve many problems.
He said the mobile management software would enable the Police to know the identities of both foreign and local members of the public.
The mobile phones would help police officers identify those on their wanted list, Ghana Card holders, registered and unregistered vehicles, insured or uninsured, among others.
The information would be linked to the National Identification Authority database.
“In effect, it would ensure the public’s protection and safety,” Dr Bawumia explained.
The Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare received the items and expressed his gratitude to the Margins ID Group, founded Mr Moses Baiden Jnr, who is also the chairman of the Group and its five subsidiaries.
