On Tuesday, 21st February 2023, President Akufo-Addo handed over 700 vehicles to the Ghana Police Service to assist their mandate in ensuring safety in the country.
He presented 100 pick-up vehicles, 600 motorbikes and 6 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) vehicles, in addition to commissioning the National Police Headquarters facelift project.
The president noted that all regions across the country are soon going to benefit from the services of this specialised unit.
“These Regional Formed Police Unit (FPUs) will be spread across 140 bases in various communities. Without any doubt, their presence will enhance greatly security, law and order in the country,” he added.
Until recently, the FPU was only stationed in Accra, but through support from government, the Unit was extended to Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
Currently, government is working on providing the remaining regions an FPU.
