The Otsenkorang Watchdog Committee in the Agona West District has appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to post police personnel to their town.

Mr Tei, one of a ten-member watchdog committee at Otsenkorang near Nyakrom in the Central Region, said upgrading their police post to a police station status, would help deal with the crime situation in the area.

He said the town has a permanent facility for a police post, but the personnel have vacated the town to Agona Nyakrom.

Mr Tei, a Purchasing Clerk of a licensed cocoa buying company, said a day hardly passes by without thieves stealing goats and cocoa beans from the town.

He said the construction of a permanent station and increasing the number of personnel would enhance police operations across the Otsenkorang communities.
