Often times, those who drive in these official vehicles abuse their offices by using the sirens on the vehicles to jump traffic and also use unapproved routes.

A Facebook user, Ernest Sanyare has commended the occupant of a police service vehicle with Registration number GP-9 for being a rare type of police officer.
It is believed that the occupant of the vehicle is a senior police officer.
According to Ernest, he first spotted the vehicle on Tuesday, April 6, 2021, patiently following the congested early morning traffic right from in front of Roka International School at Fise area until after Ofankor when he took a different direction while he continued towards Achimota.
He added that, for some strange reason, he followed the same vehicle after work the same day from John Teye school to Fise Junction after the U-turn.
Ernest said unlike most police vehicles that abuse the police siren to jump traffic congestion, this particular unique officer was different.
He said at least for the period that he drove behind him in the rush hours of the morning and evening alike, he did nothing of that sort.
Ernest however, praised the occupant of Police vehicle with registration number GP-9.
He hoped that his behavior will endure for long while and become a catalyst to reform other colleagues who abuse the police siren just to stay ahead in traffic and not for a necessary sanctioned policing activity.
In other news, Ghanaian military officer, General Henry Kwami Anyidoho, has been celebrated as Rwandans on April 7 marked the 26th anniversary of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi ethnic group.
During the grisly 1994 genocide in Rwanda, General Anyidoho led a Ghanaian contingent deployed to serve in the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) under Canadian General Roméo Dallaire.
The escalation of the genocide in the East African nation called for the peacekeeping troops to be evacuated from the country.
General Anyidoho, however, was one of the few foreign peacekeeping troops who consciously refused to abandon Rwandans to their fate in defiance of the Security Council order to evacuate.
