I agree that crime dropped during his tenure. But why should such a person be changed?.
Is it part of the reset?.

Dr. Dampare was firm and disciplinary, that is why some Police dislike him and even to the extent of jubilating when he was relief of his post.

Now that he is out office, crime is bound to increase whiles some Police will have a free day to do their clandestine moves.

Yes, Ghanaians voted for reset, this is not the kind of reset we want by removing Dampare at this time. He could be given some time to stay on.
There so many issues to be tackled by this incoming government rather than this act, even though it hinges on security issue.

Arguably, no human being is perfect! I think Dampare did well from what I have observed. Of course, subordinate may never like a strict boss. The police couldn’t freely collect the bribe as they use to. Politicians were arrested for traffic offenses which is what it should be but they won’t like him. Of course, I understand the potential reasons why JM might prefer Yohuno. Yohuno is another fantastic individual. However, Dampare deserve the praise JM mentioned.

You mean, the rampant and endemic armed robbery could just stop a la fiat lux immediately Dampare arrived?

Under his watch, investigations of armed robbery were fast. The foolishness in the police force attenuated.

why is Nana Ama Akyiaa Prempeh still at post at ORC office in kumasi?
Nana Ama Akyiaa has given a government-assigned apartment, intended for her personal use as the head of a regional office, to her girlfriend, who is also an employee at the office. The girlfriend occupies this apartment free of charge, with all utility bills (water, electricity, etc.) paid for by taxpayers’ money. This is an inappropriate use of public resources.the auditors are aware but don't say anything because she always run when auditors come around and she leaves behind fat envelopes for them. why does a senior staff receives fuel coupon and a principal staff who is ahead of the senior staff doesn't receive fuel coupon? is it because this senior staff is her lover and favorite? how can a leader run an office based on favoritism? This situation creates division and hampers productivity, as some staff members resort to spreading false information about their colleagues in an attempt to gain favor with her and this has been a normal norm in the office. She has failed to provide the data entry clerks under her supervision with the allowances they are entitled to, despite being required to do so.where does all that money go? Nana Ama Akyiaa has taken laptops from the office and given them to her family members, Printers are kept in her office when it is being needed for work. she has a lot of office properties at her home representing misappropriation of public assets.Nana Ama Akyiaa forced 9 employees to remain at the RGD (Registrar General's Department) despite the decoupling process not having officially begun at that time. This was done because she had a personal issue with a newly transferred lawyer whom she feared would replace her and expose her unethical actions. In an attempt to maintain control, she forcefully divided the office and forced nine employees to remain in RGD without following proper procedures during a time when interviews had not yet been conducted for new staff for the ORC (Office of the Registrar of Companies). This is a clear example of how her personal conflicts have interfered with the smooth running of the office.these 9 employees she always referred as not her stuff but each budget she presents to the head office has the names of these 9 stuff but when the money and stuffs arrives she doesn't give them. typical example is the lunch of ORC plus float and risk awareness celebration. she excluded these 9 employees from official programs, instead hiring outsiders to fill those roles. This unfair treatment has caused unnecessary humiliation for the affected staff. shes a lawyer and shes ought to know better. she has mistreated a lot of stuffs which caused some stuff to resign four to five years ago. there are a lot more which i have presented to the ORAL team for investigation.These actions are not only unethical but also demonstrate a clear abuse of power and resources. It is crucial that these issues are investigated thoroughly to ensure accountability and justice for the employees who have been mistreated and for the protection of public funds.shes very cunning and smart. don't fall for her antics. she needs to be in jail.

Dropped from what level to what level? Dampare banned the gathering and dissemination of crime statistics in the police service during his tenure so he can fool Ghanaians. And people like PeterToobu who are his stooges are peddling the lies for him. How stupid can you be to sit down talking that crime dropped without giving the data? And where is the rise in police integrity? The Ghana Integrity Initiative annual corruption reports show that corruption worsened all through the Akufo-Addo period, and police were reported as the leading most corrupt institution. So where did you get your data to claim police integrity improved under Dampare?

Political appointments change with new governments. Even though the police administration is pure civil, I can't really get it that their appointments have become highly political. Infact security institutions must be detached from politics.
Now a word to the wise - if you want to remain a technocrats/civil servants, then reject political appointments. Because it ends with your master. Only technocrats can't be touched by any new government!

Yes the former IGP Dr. Akuffo Dampare was so great and pretty sure very soon Ghanaians will start comparing him to the new appointed one, I will miss him big time for his excellent job to the country.

That was a bad leadership model.
A leader must train, equip and empower those below to effectively communicate the vision of the leader at their level to stakeholders, even in the leader's absence. Let them make mistakes and correct them. It's better than to deny them the necessity of a learning curve in their roles.

Now that Dampare is gone, if the new IGP wants to cede communication to the regions, will there be more experienced hands to run with his vision for the Police Service and country. Mind, there could have been retirements in the past three years.
