Commissioner of Police (COP) in charge of General Operations, John Kudalor, has warned police personnel to refrain from expression opinion on the outcome of the 2012 Election petition before the Supreme Court.
?You are to refrain from expressing your opinion about who will emerge the winner since this would be prejudicial.?
COP Kudalor issued the caution at a passing out parade of 409 general recruits at the Police Training School in Ho.
He said the Ghana Police Service?s good international reputation and its ability to reduce crime should manifest in unraveling the mysteries behind the recent fires at markets saying, ?we can assure the nation that measures have been put in place to secure the markets and prevent recurrence of the fires.?
He told the recruits, who would be on 18 months probation, to be ready to ?conform to acceptable all-round policing disposition, or quit? and also advised them not to use power unduly to their personal advantage by harassing others and extorting monies from the public.
COP Kudalor however expressed regret that some junior officers in the Service ?use their uniform to either commit armed robbery or aid armed robbers to execute their deadly agenda? and further warned the graduating recruits against rape, indiscriminate use of firearms and lack of civility to the public.
The ceremony was attended by Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo, Volta Regional Minister, Mr Francis Ganyaglo, Deputy Volta Regional Minister, representatives of security organizations and a crowd of friends and relatives of the recruits.
