The Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, says his Ministry is working on procuring more body cameras for police personnel in the country.
Speaking to Citi News on recent criminal activities in the country, including the attack on a bullion van at Jamestown in Accra, the Interior Minister said the government is doing all it can to maintain peace and security in the country.
He also encouraged private individuals who could donate to the cause to do so to ensure the security of officers.
“First of all, we have actually got a few [body cameras] with the police, but we are now making a point with the Finance Ministry that we need more of them for the police service.
We will be happy if we could get people like philanthropists and others donating to that cause, especially if you see what has been happening with the bullion vans. The vans are not proper bullion vans because they are not bullet-proof, and so we are losing too many police [officers].”
