The Public Affairs Directorate of the Ghana Police Service, in a statement on March 19, 2025, announced the reassignment of senior officers to various directorates and regional commands as part of this restructuring.
These changes take effect immediately.
It comes a few days after COP Yohuno was sworn in as Ghana’s IGP on Friday, March 14, 2025.
