The Police Management Board and the IGP commended the officers for their professionalism and bravery during the operation, noting their effective response under pressure.
The IGP urged the officers to view their promotion as a call to greater responsibility and encouraged all personnel to remain disciplined in ongoing anti-crime operations.
The recognition comes as the Ghana Police Service intensifies efforts to combat armed robbery and violent crime in urban and commercial areas, particularly within the Tema enclave.
