A delegation from the African Law Enforcement Organisation (ALEO) and the New York Police Department (NYPD) visited the Ministry of the Interior in Accra to urge tighter cooperation with the Ghana Police Service. The delegation, led by Lieutenant Yaw Offin, met with Minister for the Interior Muntaka Mohammed‑Mubarak during a brief visit to the ministry’s headquarters.
Mr Muntaka welcomed the group and affirmed Ghana’s commitment to peace and security. He explained the ministry’s mandate as the body responsible for internal security and outlined the agencies under its umbrella and their respective roles. He said such engagements were vital because they allow both sides to exchange ideas, learn from one another and improve service delivery.
ALEO, a non‑profit fraternal organisation founded in Jamaica, New York, is made up of active and retired law‑enforcement and security professionals. Its current mission in Ghana, under the theme “To Serve and to Protect Beyond Borders,” seeks to provide support and hope to underprivileged children and vulnerable communities. The organisation also promotes protection, unity and community responsibility beyond the borders of New York City.
Minister Muntaka wished the delegation a pleasant stay in Ghana and a safe journey home after their visit.
