Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

President John Mahama has officially sworn in Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP), ushering in a new era of leadership for the Ghana Police Service.

COP Yohuno’s appointment, announced on Thursday, March 13, marks a significant transition in the country’s security leadership. He succeeds Dr. George Akuffo Dampare as the nation’s top cop.

The swearing-in ceremony took place on Friday, March 14, at the Jubilee House, with senior government officials and top security personnel in attendance.

Prior to his appointment, COP Yohuno served as Deputy IGP in charge of Operations, earning recognition for his dedication and contributions to national security. With over four decades of experience in law enforcement, he has held several high-profile positions within the Ghana Police Service, demonstrating a strong commitment to public safety, crime prevention, and professional excellence.

In July 2024, he was appointed Deputy Inspector-General of Police by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, following the recommendation of the Police Council. His previous roles include:

  • Accra Central Divisional Commander (2007–2009) – Also served as Accra Regional Operations Commander.
  • Deputy Accra Regional Commander (2013) – Later promoted to Accra Regional Commander.
  • Director-General of MTTD (2015) – Led major traffic and transport reforms.
  • Director-General of Administration (2016) – Oversaw critical operational and administrative functions.

Recognized for Excellence

COP Yohuno’s contributions to Ghana’s security landscape have been widely acknowledged. In 2011, he received the Grand Medal for his efforts in combating armed robbery and other criminal activities. His rapid rise through the ranks included a special promotion to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) in 2012 and later to Commissioner of Police (COP) in 2016 under President Mahama’s administration.

An alumnus of Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School, COP Yohuno holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Ghana and an Executive MBA in Project Management from the University of Professional Studies (UPSA).

As he assumes office, he faces the critical task of strengthening law enforcement, enhancing police professionalism, and rebuilding public trust in the Ghana Police Service. His leadership is expected to focus on crime reduction, internal discipline, and key reforms to improve operational efficiency.

With his vast experience and strategic vision, COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno is poised to lead the Ghana Police Service into a new era of accountability, efficiency, and transformation.
