The Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaa Donkor, has called for stronger collaboration between the CID and the Ghana Military Police Command to address the growing complexity of crime.

She made the call during a working visit to the Military Police Command at Burma Camp on Wednesday, 25 February 2026.

COP Donkor said crime has evolved beyond traditional methods and now includes cyber-related and technology-driven offences. She stressed the need for continuous training in areas such as crime scene management, interviewing techniques and digital investigations.

The Commanding Officer of the Ghana Military Police, Lt Col Jacqueline Dela Galley, also raised concerns about the rise in impersonation and cyber-related crimes, describing the trend as a major emerging challenge.

She further emphasised the need for clearer referral systems when handling cases involving both military personnel and civilians, to ensure proper coordination between the two institutions.

Both leaders expressed confidence that renewed engagement and more structured collaboration would strengthen investigations and improve law enforcement responses to evolving security threats.
