The project is to help provide security visibility and maintain law and order.
Hitherto, the police service was renting private property for both office duties and as cells.
The situation compelled the Ghana Christian International School and the citizens of Hwiremoase to put up a modern facility for the police service.
The facility has two cells, offices, armoury room, store rooms, a mechanised borehole and washrooms.
A representative of Ghana Christian International School, Mr. Festus Adei, noted that the issue of law and order was important at this time when indiscipline, lawlessness and robbery were threatening the rule of law in the country.
He said it was vital for communities to support the police to allow it to perform its duty of maintaining law and order.
Mr Adei pleaded with the government to assist the institution in building residency for the police and urged the people to come together as a group and give the Hwiremoase community a face-lift.
