INTERPOL AFRICA COMMITTEE MEMBER LYDIA YAAKO DONKOR SPEAKS ON GLOBAL POLICE COOPERATION

Accra, Ghana — Commissioner of Police Ms. Lydia Yaako Donkor, Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service and a member of the INTERPOL Africa Committee, is set to deliver a major statement in connection with the United Nations International Day of Police Cooperation.

The occasion brings renewed attention to the growing importance of international collaboration among law-enforcement agencies in tackling crime that increasingly crosses national borders.

As Ghana continues to strengthen its role in international policing efforts, Commissioner Donkor’s address is expected to highlight the need for closer cooperation, intelligence sharing and coordinated action among police institutions across countries.

The United Nations International Day of Police Cooperation provides an important platform to recognise the work of police officers worldwide and to emphasise the crucial role of international partnerships in confronting organised and transnational crime.

With her position as head of Ghana’s Criminal Investigations Department and her involvement with the INTERPOL Africa Committee, Commissioner Donkor brings significant experience to the conversation on strengthening police cooperation across Africa and beyond.

Her statement comes at a time when law-enforcement agencies are increasingly required to work together to respond to sophisticated criminal networks operating across jurisdictions.

The full statement is expected to shed more light on Ghana’s contribution to international police cooperation and the importance of collective action in the fight against crime.
