The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has urged the Ghana Police Co-operative Credit Union to uphold integrity and ensure the protection of members’ funds following the commissioning of its new office complex at the Police Hospital in Accra.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony on Tuesday, December 16, the IGP described the trust reposed in the credit union by its members as “sacred,” emphasizing the need for prudent management and forward-looking strategies to sustain the institution’s growth.
Mr. Yohuno noted that the financial sector is rapidly evolving due to advancements in digital banking, mobile money, data analytics, and emerging cyber security threats.
While these developments present new opportunities, he stressed that they also come with increased responsibilities.
He therefore encouraged the credit union to invest in secure digital platforms, expand online and mobile services for members, and strengthen its cyber security architecture to safeguard financial transactions.
Reiterating his commitment to officer welfare, the IGP said the credit union remains a vital pillar in supporting the financial well-being of police personnel.
“Since assuming office, one of my core priorities has been officer welfare. This includes accommodation, health care, training, provision of critical logistics, and the financial well-being of our personnel,” he stated, assuring members of continued support from the police administration to promote responsible participation in the credit union’s schemes.
The IGP commended the board of directors for their vision and leadership, praised staff for their dedication, and acknowledged the efforts of contractors, consultants, the Police Hospital management, and regulatory bodies for their roles in the successful completion of the project.
The newly commissioned office complex is expected to enhance the cooperative’s operational efficiency, improve service delivery to members, and boost confidence in the institution, in line with the modern demands of the financial sector and the welfare-centered mandate of the Ghana Police Service.
