The Ashanti Regional Police Command has commemorated the 2025 Police Memorial Day with a solemn Flag Raising and Wreath Laying Ceremony under the theme: “Remembering Our Fallen Heroes; Gone But Not Forgotten.”
The event drew officers, families of departed personnel, senior police leadership, and the Ashanti Regional Minister — who represented the President — all gathered to pay heartfelt tribute to officers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Filled with emotion and reflection, the ceremony highlighted the ultimate sacrifices made by police officers to maintain peace, security, and public order across the region.
Families of the fallen officers were present in their numbers, joining colleagues and commanders to honour the memories of their loved ones.
Speaking to the media after the ceremony, the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Osei Akoto Arthur, underscored the significance of the day to the Ghana Police Service, describing it as a time to remember, reflect, and motivate serving officers.
“It’s a very special day for the Police Service — not just to honour our fallen heroes but also to encourage serving officers to continue to work with dignity and dedication,” he said.
DCOP Arthur further disclosed that the Police Administration, led by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), has already reached out to the families of the deceased officers to provide support and assurances of continued assistance.
“Families of the deceased officers have already been engaged by the IGP, and we have assured them of any support the Service can provide,” he added.
The 2025 Memorial Day ceremony reaffirmed the Ghana Police Service’s commitment to honouring its fallen heroes — men and women whose sacrifices remain etched in the memory of the nation.
