According to the residents, it is welcoming news to have a new police station to help combat crime in the area after so many years of waiting.

The facility, which houses a cell, a station and CID offices, and washrooms, is to beef up security at Assin Akropong and its adjoining communities was majorly financed by the Youth Association in collaboration with the 2020 Assin Central parliamentary candidate in the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Mijimah Shaibu, Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Nicholas Fiifi Baako and Assin Central Member Of Parliament, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.

The residents complained bitterly about the personnel having to operate from a very dilapidated building, which affected smooth and effective operations.

The new station would provide security for over 20 communities including Assin Wurakese.

The Police post was jointly commissioned by Central Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Kwadwo Antwi Tabi,  Assin Fosu Divisional police commander, other police commanders from Border Districts, Municipal Chief Executive Hon Nicholas Fiifi Baako, 2020 NDC Parliamentary Candidate Mr. Mijimah Shaibu,  Chairman for the Youth Association Mr Samuel Tutu Asamoah, the project coordinator for the Association Mr Frank Asante, and the traditional leaders in the community.

The MCE, Hon Nicholas Fiifi Baako promised the government’s commitment at making sure that the people in Assin enclaves are provided with the needed security they deserve.

The MCE said the Assembly understood the importance of security for the people, hence the decision to support the idea of the Association by providing a comfortable place for the personnel to improve security in the area.

“The police can be proactive when the citizens are able to give them the appropriate information,” Mr. Baako said.
