Police establish GH¢20K informant system ahead of December polls

The National Election Security Taskforce has introduced a financial reward initiative to encourage public reporting of security threats ahead of the December polls.

Under this scheme, informants providing credible information to the police or security agencies can earn rewards ranging from GH¢1,000 to GH¢20,000.

Reports can be made through the toll-free hotline 0800-311-311.

Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, unveiled the initiative during a meeting with the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) on November 27.

Dr. Dampare highlighted the importance of public participation in safeguarding election security, ensuring the process remains peaceful and credible.

“We operationalise the information, and if successful, you’ll receive your reward through your preferred method,” he stated.
