Police deploy personnel for two-day national cleanup exercise
Police deployed personnel for a two-day national cleanup exercise that commenced on Friday, July 10, 2026. The Ghana Police Service stated it deployed personnel nationwide and provided sanitation equipment to support the exercise, which aims to restore flood-affected areas and reduce the risk of future disasters. The Service called on members of the public to join the exercise, stating, "Join our officers in various communities across the country; let us keep Ghana safe and clean."
The initiative is part of a broader national effort to improve environmental sanitation and reduce the risk of flooding following the devastating June 29 floods. The Police Administration equipped officers with brooms, wheelbarrows, tricycles, and other sanitation tools. The June 29 floods claimed at least 13 lives, displaced thousands of residents, destroyed homes and businesses, and damaged public infrastructure. President John Dramani Mahama directed Ministers of State, Members of Parliament, Chief Executive Officers of state institutions, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, and heads of public institutions to lead clean-up activities in their respective communities.
