The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has promoted seventeen (17) police officers in recognition of their outstanding professionalism and dedication to duty.
The promotions, effected on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, were awarded to officers who distinguished themselves in separate high-impact operations across the country.
The officers played critical roles in the interception of ten (10) wrapped slabs of substances suspected to be cocaine, with an estimated street value of 1,032,650.00 cedis, along with several sacks of suspected narcotic drugs at Ho in the Volta Region.

Congratulating the officers, the IGP, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), commended them for their discipline, courage, and professionalism, noting that their conduct reflects the core values of the Ghana Police Service.
