The Tema Regional Police Command has re-launched its patrol activities dubbed; “operation calm life” to flush out criminals from Tema.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) John Kudalor, Tema Police Commander performing the re-launch said his outfit was more prepared to effectively rid the region of criminal activities to ensure the safety of residents and workers.

DCOP Kudalor stated that to enhance the capacity of the patrols, more logistics and personnel from the police and military have been detailed to beef up the team.

He called on the public to have confidence in the security services as the re-launch was a manifestation of their commitment to combat armed robbery in the area.

The Commander appealed to residents to volunteer information to the police on activities of unscrupulous people in their localities as combating crime involves all stakeholders, including the public.

DCOP Kudalor further urged residents not to panic upon seeing the patrol team in their areas as they would also embark on snap checks in the residential areas.

He promised; “we will surely get at them [criminals] no matter what,” adding, “they can run and hide but not forever.”

Major Joe Annak, Commander of First Infantry Battalion (1BN) called on the personnel to discharge their duties professionally as the success or otherwise of the operations and the image of the security services greatly depended on them.

Major Annak also advised them to use the resources judiciously to ensure safety and peace in the region.

He entreated media personnel to support the operations by exercising restraint in publishing some important information but should rather make them available to the police for action to be taken.
