Under Dampare, crime dropped and police integrity was upheld – Peter Toobu

Retired police officer and Wa West MP, Peter Lanchene Toobu, has lauded the leadership of former Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, emphasizing his role in strengthening police communication and upholding the service’s integrity.

Speaking on Asaase Radio, Toobu praised Dampare’s interactive leadership style, noting that his direct engagement helped restore public confidence in the police.

“We saw an IGP who was interactive, engaging, and took full responsibility for police communication. Under him, crime levels dropped, and police integrity was upheld,” he stated.

He contrasted Dampare’s approach with past administrations, where inaccurate police statements sometimes damaged credibility. According to him, Dampare ensured that all official communications came from headquarters, reinforcing trust in the service.
