In an official post on Facebook on March 13, 2026, IGP Yohuno described the visit as a significant step toward strengthening international cooperation in combating crime, particularly transnational criminal activities. Through shared knowledge, training and intelligence cooperation, we can better address emerging security challenges,” he stated. Members of the NYPD delegation noted that partnerships between police institutions are essential in addressing modern crime threats that often cut across national boundaries. The proposal includes the placement of a senior NYPD detective at the Ghana Police Service Headquarters in Accra and the embedding of a senior Ghana Police Service officer within the NYPD Intelligence Bureau in New York. The NYPD delegation also paid courtesy calls on the Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Bureau, Charles Alhassan Kipo, where discussions focused on national security coordination and intelligence sharing.
