The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, has renewed his pledge to make the country the safest place.
The police chief is poised to make this a reality while the force works on making the police force the best institution in the country.
He made this comment while taking delivery of some 1,500 motorbikes from government.
“What you are going to provide to us today, we'll go a long way in our tournaments have done and we cannot wait," he said on Monday.
According to him, the new bikes will be a major boost to better fighting crime.
He also expressed the Police Service's openness to more gestures like these.
"We cannot just wait to receive them and start putting them to us and making this country safer than it was yesterday and also going to make it safer than we are going to make it today."
Presenting the vehicles, President Akufo-Addo indicated that the move forms part of the government’s commitment to retooling the police to achieve its set targets.
He promised to increase the number of bikes to 5,000 by end of next year.
The President subsequently charged the Police to ensure no community is left behind.
