On Monday, 15th August 2022, I presented 1,500 motorbikes to the Police Service. It is yet a further affirmation of the commitment of the Akufo-Addo government to provide the Police Service with the necessary logistics it requires, to help the Service continue to effect its mandate of maintaining law and order and protecting lives and property.

I assure the Police Administration that this is just the beginning. More and more motorbikes will come in soon, to help ensure that every single community in the country benefits from the enhanced community policing model. The government will increase the number of motorbikes presented by the Government to five thousand (5,000) by the end of next year.

I urged the IGP to help ensure that no community is left out in the distribution of these bikes, even as the Police Service prioritizes the areas that are most critical. I entreat officers who will use these bikes to take good care of them but, more importantly, to pay particular attention to their safety and the safety of other road users while on the road.
