Mahama pledges 40 additional armoured vehicles to bolster police operations
John Dramani Mahama pledged to procure 40 additional armoured vehicles to bolster police operations during the official commissioning of the new Divisional Police Headquarters at Laasi, located in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality. He announced, "I'm happy to inform the IGP that another 40 armoured cars are coming."
The new facility and the promised logistics form part of a comprehensive security reset designed to curb violent crime through superior equipment and infrastructure. The incoming fleet will complement an initial batch of 40 armoured vehicles acquired last year. President Mahama noted that the initial batch has already been instrumental in neutralising armed robbery syndicates and responding to volatile security threats nationwide. He emphasized that the safety of the Ghanaian people depends on the safety of those who wear the uniform and that when officers are sent to protect people and fight violent people, they have to be provided with the instruments and the tools to be able to do so.
As the 40 new armoured vehicles prepare for deployment, the government has signalled that this is only one phase of a broader logistical rollout intended to ensure that the Ghana Police Service remains ahead of the curve in an increasingly complex regional security environment.
