The Ghana Police Service is to roll out more than 700 digital enrolment stations across the country by the end of the year as part of efforts to improve crime detection, investigations and prevention.
The initiative is also expected to strengthen intelligence-led policing by giving the Police Service greater access to digital information and tools for its operations.
The Minister for the Interior, Mr Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, announced this at the National Police Headquarters in Accra on Friday, August 21, 2026, when he opened the Police Regional Command Conference.
He said the expansion of the digital enrolment stations formed part of measures to use technology to improve policing and strengthen the ability of the Police Service to prevent and investigate crime.
Mr Mohammed-Mubarak urged Regional Commanders to improve leadership, accountability and professionalism in their respective regions.
He said public expectations of the security services continued to grow and, therefore, required Police commanders to uphold high standards in the discharge of their duties.
The Minister also mentioned TRAFITECH, the automated road traffic enforcement system, and the National Criminal Automated Biometric Identification System as other technology-based initiatives being used by the Police Service.
He said the planned nationwide expansion of the digital enrolment stations would support the Police Service in gathering and using information for intelligence-led policing.
Addressing the conference, the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, said Ghanaians expected a Police Service that was professional, visible, competent, fair and trusted.
Mr Yohuno urged Regional Commanders to provide effective leadership and take decisions that would help improve the Service.
He also called for greater cooperation among the various national security agencies and urged commanders to strengthen engagement to improve security across the country.
The conference was attended by members of the Police Management Board, the Chief Director at the Ministry of the Interior, the Medical Director of the Police Hospital, the Commandant of the Police Academy and Regional Police Commanders from across the country.
