It was early morning at Amasaman. School children were on their way to school but five of them in the community met an unexpected visitor - the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
As a natural reaction by many children when they see the police, they started to run away. The IGP, Dr. George Akufo Dampare got down from his car and decided to walk with them to school.
It was a long walk together with other top police officials to their homes first to introduce himself to their parents.
That encounter culminated in an unplanned sensitization at the Sarpeiman MA 2 Basic School where Dr Dampare urged the students to see the police as their friend.
The IGP vowed that he will do everything within his power to improve police-community relations.
JoyNews' correspondent Maxwell Agbagba was in the community and filed the following report.
