Don't Act Outside The Law - DCOP Boakye

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Nathan Kofi Boakye, the Ashanti Regional Commander, has warned people not to act outside the law, saying, that would not be tolerated.

He made reference to recent violent incidents at Tafo, Agona, Agogo and Mampong and vowed to bring to justice anybody found to have breached the law.

Identified offenders would be arrested by the police and put before the court to answer for their crimes.  

He was addressing a parade held at the police training school at Patasi in Kumasi to review their operational performance.

DCOP Boakye said it was important for people to use legal processes to address whatever grievances.

He rejected public criticism about the police handling of the Tafo violence and said they acted professionally.

He reminded senior police officers to properly brief their subordinates on when and where to use their weapons.
