In a bid to strengthen community policing in Ghana’s five northern border regions, Coginta Ghana has thrown its weight behind the Ghana Police Service. The Upper West region training, which kicked off recently, has brought together 25 police officers from 5 hotspots to enhance their community policing skills.
On the first day of the training, participants expressed their commitment to working closely with community stakeholders in their operational areas. This collaborative approach is expected to foster trust between the Ghana Police Service and civilians, promoting an all-inclusive security approach in the hotspots.
This training is the second of five under the “PEACE PROTECT” project in Ghana, which aims to promote peace and stability in the region. By empowering police officers with the skills and knowledge to engage effectively with their communities, Coginta Ghana is helping to build a safer and more secure environment for all.
As part of its efforts to promote peace and security, Coginta Ghana has also supported the National Peace Council in establishing and building the capacity of Local Peace Committees in 25 hotspots across the five northern border regions. Additionally, the organization has donated motorbikes to Regional Peace Councils and Customary Land Secretariats to enhance their response time in land dispute management.
