Interior minister Ambrose Derry has revealed that the Ghana police service is expected to recruits 22,000 new personnel into the service in few months time. This will augment the shortfall of police officers in the country.
Per records of the Ghana Police Service, the ratio of security officials to civilians currently stands at 1 policeman to 500 Ghanaians.
The Ghana Police service also warned against recruitment scams when the recruitment date is due.
Not long ago, one Mark Awatey was arrested for swindling over 15 people to the tune of GH¢31,390 with the reason to help them get a job in the Police Service.
