‘We are going to launch operation father Christmas, hopefully Monday November 13, 2017 where security in the metropolis will be beefed up, crime prone areas will be looked into. Its this time that the criminals also operate, so we are going to prevent them from chopping Christmas. We are sending a signal to the criminals that we will come after them if they are men, they should be prepared to meet us. We are working hard to ensure that there is free movement of people, and goods everywhere, people should feel free,’ he said.

He asserted that high way robberies have also gone down adding that their major challenge is outskirts of Kumasi where roads are not motorable.

‘Our major challenge is the outskirt of Kumasi, where construction or development is on going. Some of the roads are unmotorable, numbering of the streets is also a problem for us, the district assemblies should do something about it,’ he said.

Speaking on Ultimate Breakfast Show with Lantam Papanko he hinted that about 500 police officers will be deployed during the final funeral rites of the Asantehemaa Nana Afia Serwaa Kobi Ampem II which begins on December 1-15, 2017.

‘We have prepared our operations order, we are anticipating of deploying over 500 police men for the Asantehemaa’s final funeral rites, we are also going to get support from the military and other security agencies to assist us, we are putting mechanisms in place to ensure that we have a peaceful programme, where we don’t have the resources, we are going to ask Accra-police headquarters to provide us men.

‘If there is the need for us to import officers from other regions we will do so, we expect the public to cooperate with us. If we tell you not to use this road, obey to avoid confrontations, we are not going to take security issues for granted at all,’ he advised.

He called on the public to trust them as they fight scrupulous people who engage in atrocities calling on them to provide them (police) with information.
