General News of Monday, 18 March 2019Source: classfmonline.comPolice, civilian distrust threat to democracy – BPSInspector General of Police, David Asante AppeatuThe Bureau of Public Safety (BPS) has said the distrust between the Ghana Police Service and the public must be dealt with in order to prevent a total breakdown in the country’s law and order in the wake of three “disturbing” incidents. Another video circulating on social media also shows an assault of a cop by a driver of a commercial bus and his conductor at Weija in the Greater Accra Region. The BPS has condemned these incidents in a statement issued by its Executive Director, Nana Yaw Akwada. “This, if not addressed with urgency, public tranquillity and law and order will grind to a complete halt thereby threatening our democratic development,” the statement noted. BPS is also calling for the establishment of a permanent and independent police complaints body and action taken against the officers who assaulted the three journalists.
