Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has warned criminal groups across the country, saying the government is now better equipped and fully prepared to confront all forms of crime.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the commissioning of 40 newly acquired armoured vehicles for the Ghana Police Service on Thursday, December 4, the Minister said the state\u2019s improved resources and intelligence capacity leave no room for lawbreakers to operate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour time is up. The state is prepared. The police are prepared. The tools are ready. The intelligence is improving. And the public is increasingly vigilant.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that security agencies will deal decisively with those involved in violent and organised crime. \u201cWhether it is armed robbery, banditry, illegal mining, violence, trafficking, kidnapping, gang activities or terrorism, know that we will find you, we will stop you, and you will face the full force of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that although Ghana is a peaceful nation, it is not helpless in the face of threats. \u201cGhana is a peaceful nation, but we are not defenseless.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minister explained that the new armoured vehicles would be deployed based on crime data and operational needs. He said the Interior Ministry will work closely with the Police Administration to ensure the vehicles are used effectively. <\/p>\n

\u201cSome will support high crime zones, others will reinforce highway patrol, others will be integrated into rapid response teams and special operations. Deployment will be guided by intelligence, operational need and proper chain of command,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the shift towards a more technology-driven policing model, supported by a new real-time crime centre being developed under the Inspector-General of Police. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are moving towards a policing model that is predictive, data-driven and technology-enabled. In this new era, crime will be confronted not only with courage, but with smart intelligence and modern tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minister urged the public to support security efforts by remaining alert and sharing information with authorities. \u201cSecurity also depends on cooperation. We need communities to continue reporting suspicious activity, sharing intelligence, and supporting our officers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the ministry is strengthening community policing and improving oversight mechanisms to build trust between citizens and the police.<\/p>\n

Describing the commissioning as a symbol of national commitment, the Minister said the new vehicles reflect renewed confidence in Ghana\u2019s institutions and security services. <\/p>\n

\u201cLet this 40-armour vehicle stand as a symbol of our commitment, a symbol of our readiness, a symbol of unity, a symbol of a nation determined to protect its peace, its people and its progress,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
