A delegation from Sierra Leone has met with Ghana’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Godfred Yeboah Dame, to discuss strategies for transforming the Sierra Leone Police Force into a modern and effective service.

The high-level meeting, held in Accra, focused on sharing experiences and insights as Sierra Leone embarks on a critical reform of its law enforcement agency.

The Sierra Leonean delegation, comprised of senior officials, sought to learn from Ghana’s successful policing reforms as they aim to build a more professional and community-oriented police service. Discussions centered on operational improvements, legal frameworks, and the integration of modern technology in policing.

Mr. Dame highlighted Ghana’s progress in enhancing the capacity of its police service, particularly in the areas of human rights, accountability, and public trust. He emphasized the importance of legal reforms, continuous training, and cooperation with international partners in achieving a modern police service.

The exchange of ideas during the meeting underscored the shared commitment of both nations to advancing justice and security. Sierra Leone’s efforts to reform its police force come at a time when the country is seeking to improve public safety and confidence in law enforcement.

This visit marks a significant step in Sierra Leone’s broader efforts to modernize its institutions and ensure the rule of law, with lessons from Ghana expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of Sierra Leone’s policing system.
