IGP to Revive Regional Police Interaction with Media
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno has announced plans to reactivate and revive regional police public relations departments.
This is to allow for a seamless flow of information and engagement with the public, particularly the media.
He announced this at the opening of a three-day workshop for all Regional Public Relations Officers of the Ghana Police Service on March 20, 2025.
A statement issued by the police confirmed, “Under his leadership, the current Police Administration will reactive and revive all Police Regional Public Affairs Officers to interact and meet the ever-evolving demands of our society and media partners.”
He therefore urged the officers to take full advantage of the workshop to refine their skills, share experiences, and adopt modern communication approaches as he charged them to be guided by the core values and ethical standards of the Ghana Police Service.
He further urged the officers to prioritise protecting the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information while balancing their duties with the need to remain as open and transparent as possible; ensuring interactions with the media adhere to the highest standards of credibility, integrity and impartiality; and ensuring consistency in police messaging across all regions and units.
The workshop is geared towards strengthening and revamping the Public Affairs Arm of the Service and enhancing communication and public engagement at all levels.
