The officers have subsequently been referred to the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) for further investigations and appropriate disciplinary action in line with established procedures.
The Ghana Police Service reiterated its commitment to maintaining professionalism, discipline, and ethical conduct among its personnel, and cautioned officers against the misuse of official uniforms and insignia, especially on digital platforms.
