The Director-General at the Public Affairs Directorate of the Ghana Police Service, ACP Kwesi Ofori has stressed that both the State-Owned Security Service and the Creative Arts Industry needs each other in order to ensure a smooth policing and security in the country.
According to ACP Kwesi Ofori, the players in the creative arts industry are the movers and shakers of the society.
Addressing Journalists at the Police Headquarters in Accra on Wednesday after a closed door meeting with the Creative Arts Industry, he said "We need you and you need us. You are the movers and shakers of our society"
ACP Kwesi Ofori also added that the Creative Arts Industry is a major shareholder to the Ghana Police Service.
He further noted that the Ghana Police Service recognises the major role the Creative Arts Industry is playing in the socio-economic development in the country.
"And playing that key role definitely suggests that you have a major stake in the security direction, policy formulation affecting security, public safety and the general well being of Ghanaians" he said.
He hinted that since the Creative Arts Industry delves in many areas, the Ghana Police Service will not abandon its players.
On his part, Ghanaian director, filmmaker, and Director for Creative Arts at the National Commission on Culture in Ghana, Socrate Safo thanked the Ghana Police Service for the great opportunity and assured that the industry players will not hesitate to call on the IGP anytime they need help.
He also promised that his colleagues will abide by all rules and regulations of the country to avoid having problems with the police.
