The Ghana Police Service (GPS) has called on the general public to desist from exposing certain sensitive activities of criminals to social media rather,those information should be handed to the Police.
The GPS urged the public to share Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage of criminal activities directly with the service instead of posting it on social media,believing the approach will aid in investigations.
The aim is to ensure that the perpetrators of these crimes are apprehended and not left at large.
The Director of the Public Affairs Directorate of the Ghana Police Service, ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi,speaking in an interview on Tuesday,stated that such actions would benefit both the public and the service.
She emphasized that it would expedite the process of bringing the perpetrators to justice.
“In the event of any incident, instead of circulating the CCTV footage, they should first share it with the police to help in our investigations. Sometimes, putting it out there makes our investigative efforts difficult because if you are a suspect and you know that there is footage of you, it reveals your identity and the like.”
“So we want to entreat everybody; in case there is an incident, please share it with the police instead of putting it out there,” she said.
