President John Mahama on Monday led a flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony to commemorate the 2025 Police Memorial Day, paying tribute to officers who died while performing their duties.
The event, held to honour twenty fallen officers, brought together top government and police officials, including the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak. Representatives of the bereaved families also attended, joining the nation in reflecting on the courage and selflessness of the men and women who served.
Six officers received the highest form of recognition with their names etched onto the Police Wall of Honour, while fourteen others were remembered through entries in the Memorial Book of Honour.
Police Memorial Day, first celebrated in 2014, is observed annually to acknowledge officers who lost their lives in the line of duty—whether within the country, on peacekeeping operations, or during international missions. The ceremony reinforces the state’s commitment to honouring their legacies and supporting the families they left behind.
