The Jericho Wall Police Station at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has been officially opened by His Royal Majesty Otumfour Osei Tutu II the Asante Hene (KNUST).
A celebration of the university’s 56th Anniversary included the commissioning, which took place on March 17, 2023.
The station, which is intended to assist the university and the surrounding community, is also anticipated to improve overall campus security, according to the police.
“As part of the Police Administration’s initiatives to increase police visibility and incident reaction times on the university campus, the KNUST Motorcycle Patrols were also established.
The Police said in a statement that this effort was designed to ensure that motorized police officers could be seen on the campuses of our universities.
They continued, “KNUST was the second to gain from this effort, following University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani.”
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Rev. John Ntim Fourjour, the Deputy Education Minister, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, and the Inspector-General of Police were all present for the commissioning, which followed the university’s 56th Congregation.
