His transfer has been viewed by many as a surprise as he was appointed Commander of the Greater Accra regional Police only six months ago.

The former Greater Accra regional Police Commander COP George Akufo Dampare has explained that his transfer by the IGP to the Ghana Police Command and Staff College at Winneba is a routine management practice within the service.

"The new appointment which took effect immediately is a routine management practice and I have accordingly handed over the management of the region to my successor ACP Timothy Yoosa Bonga on 16 May 2016," COP Dampare said in a statement.

He further called for support for his replacement at the Accra Region Police Command.

"...I wish to thank the Police Administration, officers and men within Accra region and all stakeholders, including the media, civil society groups, religious groups, political parties and the entire populace of the metropolis for their enormous contribution and cooperation for the entire police command during my tenure."As I take up the new appointment I will beseech all to continue to give same support to my successor and his team to keep Accra safe, especially during the upcoming election," the newly appointed Commandant of the Ghana Police Command and Staff College (GPCSC) at Winneba added.
