General News of Thursday, 11 April 2019Source: ghananewsagency.orgPolice reminded to introduce themselves before effecting arrestsFile photoDeputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Anthony Danso, Ho Municipal Police Commander, has reminded police officers of the need to introduce themselves and give suspects reasons for arrests before effecting them. He said it was the right of civilians to know reasons for their arrest and attributed some police-civilian brutalities to the unwillingness of the police to introduce themselves and reasons for arrest. Mr Danso said the seriousness of a case determined whether a suspect should be handcuffed and that suspects should always be handcuffed at the back. He said the Command had taken delivery of vehicles and motorcycles and assured of intensified 24-hour patrols before, during and after the Easter festivities. Mr Danso asked the residents to be vigilant during the festivities to avoid the incidence of kidnapping.
