A delegation from the African Law Enforcement Organisation (ALEO) and the New York Police Department (NYPD) has called for stronger collaboration with the Ghana Police Service to improve relations between the police and the communities they serve.

The delegation, led by Lieutenant Yaw Offin, made the call during a visit to the Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, at the Ministry in Accra.

The visit forms part of ALEO's efforts to strengthen cooperation with Ghana's law enforcement institutions and promote community-oriented policing.

ALEO is a non-profit fraternal organisation made up of active and retired law enforcement and security professionals, based in Jamaica, New York.

It promotes protection, unity, and community responsibility, extending its work beyond policing and the borders of New York City.

Its current mission to Ghana, under the theme “To Serve and to Protect Beyond Borders,” is aimed at providing support and hope to underprivileged children and vulnerable communities.

Welcoming the delegation, Mr Muntaka assured them of Ghana's peace and security and outlined the Ministry's mandate as the institution responsible for internal security.

He also briefed them on the agencies under the Ministry and their respective responsibilities.

The Minister said engagements of this nature were important because they provided opportunities for both sides to exchange ideas, learn from one another and improve service delivery.

He wished the delegation a pleasant stay in Ghana and a safe journey home after their visit.
