The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted 17 police officers in recognition of their exceptional professionalism and dedication to duty.
The promotions were carried out on January 27, 2026, and were awarded to officers who distinguished themselves in separate high-impact security operations across the country.
According to the Ghana Police Service, some of the promoted officers played key roles in an operation that led to the interception of ten wrapped slabs of substances suspected to be cocaine, with an estimated street value of GH¢1,032,650. The operation also resulted in the seizure of sacks containing substances suspected to be narcotic drugs at Ho in the Volta Region.
In a separate operation at Jacobu, officers recovered an AK-47 rifle, a pump-action gun, and eight rounds of live AAA ammunition during a routine patrol.
Congratulating the officers, IGP Yohuno, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), commended them for upholding the core values of the Ghana Police Service, including discipline, courage, and professionalism.
He urged the newly promoted officers to see their elevation as a call to greater responsibility and encouraged all police personnel to remain committed to duty.
The IGP assured officers that excellence, integrity, and professionalism remain the key criteria for recognition and promotion within the Ghana Police Service.
