During the meeting at the Police headquarters, Boafo acknowledged the substantial improvements observed within the police service under Dr. Dampare's leadership. He specifically commended the Inspector-General for his efforts to enhance the image and operations of the Police Service.

As IGP, you have lifted the image of the Police Service. This is the first time the police service is meeting with the BAR. It is illustrious to the country. We commend you also for the Police TV initiative, Boafo expressed.

The GBA President also commended the Police TV initiative, which is one of the innovative projects launched during the current police leadership.

In response, Inspector-General Dr. George Akuffo Dampare emphasized the Police's commitment to improving relations with the public and key stakeholders. He reiterated the police's readiness to collaborate with all relevant parties to enhance policing in the country.
