Dampare earned public praise, but officers struggled – Peter Toobu

Peter Toobu, a prominent figure in the Ghana Police Service, has acknowledged the commendable efforts of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare while highlighting challenges faced by officers on the ground. Toobu pointed out that while Dampare has garnered public acclaim for his leadership and reforms within the police force, many officers still grapple with significant difficulties in their daily operations. He emphasized that despite Dampare's achievements in enhancing police-community relations and fostering transparency, frontline officers often contend with resource limitations and operational constraints that hinder their effectiveness.

Toobu's remarks suggest a need for a balanced approach to policing, where recognition of leadership is coupled with addressing the realities faced by officers in the field. He called for more support and resources to empower these individuals who are crucial to maintaining law and order. Ultimately, Toobu’s insights underscore the importance of not only celebrating achievements at the top but also ensuring that those on the front lines are adequately equipped to serve their communities effectively.
