The Ghana Police Service has launched a major new initiative to improve its intelligence-led policing capabilities through a specialized training program run in collaboration with the United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The Ghanaian US Embassy, today, via x, relayed that a squad of specialist instructors from the Federal Bureau of Investigation is presently facilitating an educational curriculum for the Ghana Police Service, designed to enhance their capacity to mitigate the threats posed by transnational criminal syndicates and violent extremist organizations.
Speaking alongside the Inspector General of Police, the U.S. Embassy’s Acting Deputy Chief of Mission stressed that the training provides “real-world law enforcement tools that protect lives and national security; a secure and stable environment promotes economic growth and creates conditions where citizens and businesses can thrive.”
The ten-day intensive Police Intelligence Operations Training Programme is intended to improve the skills of Ghanaian police officers in key operational areas such as intelligence gathering, undercover operations, threat identification, operational planning, and proactive crime prevention.
