The National Association of Retired Police Officers (NARPO-Ghana) has extended heartfelt congratulations to COP (Rtd) Nathan Kofi Boakye on his appointment to the Ghana Police Council.
Kofi Boakye, who currently serves as Director of Operations at the Presidency, was recently sworn in as a member of the Council representing retired senior police officers.
In a statement signed by DCOP George Anko-Bil (Rtd), National Secretary of NARPO-Ghana, the association described Boakye’s elevation as a recognition of his unwavering dedication, experience, and leadership within the Police Service.
“As the National Secretary, it is an honour to formally write on behalf of the Functional Executive Committee of NARPO-GH to express our heartfelt congratulations on your elevation to represent retired senior officers at the National Police Council,” the statement read in part.
“This prestigious appointment is a testament to your dedication, expertise, and leadership. We are proud to have you on our team and look forward to your valuable contributions.”
The association expressed optimism that Boakye’s representation on the Council would accelerate efforts to formalise NARPO-GH’s recognition in the national framework, particularly within the ongoing constitutional review process.
“With your elevation, we at the National Association of Retired Police Officers — comprising both retired senior and junior officers — hope to witness the fast-tracking of our recognition under the national constitution through the current review of the 1992 Constitution,” the statement added.
