The Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has banned all police leave for the remainder of the year as the Ghana Police Service launches Operation Disaster-Free Christmas to ensure safety during the festive season.

The announcement was made by Jamestown District Police Commander, Superintendent William Abisah, during a briefing on the upcoming Christmas operations.

“I’m here to present our operational order for the Christmas festivities. As we all know, we are approaching the Christmas season, and we have already started day and night patrols, as we do every year.

"I am also here to inform you that the IGP has banned leave for all police officers. For that matter, we are preparing seriously for Christmas,” he said.

The initiative aims to strengthen police presence across the country, prevent crime, and ensure a safe and secure festive period for all Ghanaians.
