Ghana Police Servive Phone Number
The currently  numerical strength of the Police Service had moved from 23,204 in 2012 to 30,635 in 2014.
“This has resulted in a current Police-Population ratio of 1:784 as against 1:1,100 in 2010,” 
This had brought the country closer to the United Nations’ benchmark of 1:500.
It had also led to an increase in police visibility and accessibility, which were key prerequisites in crime prevention, detection and control.
The Government has intensified efforts at positioning the country’s security agencies to adequately respond to contemporary security challenges.

For the first time in Ghana’s history a Marine Police Unit has been established and equipped with modern speedboats to police the country’s territorial waters.
“In addition, a number of critical logistics such as bulletproof vests and riot control gear had been procured for the Police Service,” 
Ghana will continue the programme of retooling and reequipping the Armed Forces with the appropriate instruments and platforms to enable them to carry out their constitutional mandate.
In this regard, vehicles, helicopters, aircrafts, armoured personnel carriers, and other ordinance were being procured to enhance the capacity of the forces both internally and externally.

History of Ghana Police Service
 
The attainment of Republican status in 1960, saw the changing of the name Ghana Police Force into Ghana Police Service.  
With the enactment of the Police Force (Amendment) Decree, 1974 (NRCD 303) the Ghana Police Service was removed from the control of the Public Service Commission.
The Police need the support and collaboration of the citizenry in making cities, villages, and places of work safer and more peaceful.
