The artiste announced the honour in a post on X on May 19, 2026, sharing videos of himself alongside Inspector General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno and other senior officers at what appeared to be a formal presentation ceremony.
Reflecting on the significance of the award, Stonebwoy wrote:
"A true symbol of service is not only to protect a nation with power but also to protect its spirit with purpose. I received the Ghana Police Badge of Service with integrity as a reminder that influence, discipline, culture, and service can walk hand in hand."
The dancehall star also expressed gratitude to the IGP and the wider police service, dedicating the recognition to the Ghanaian public.
"Deep appreciation to the Inspector General of Ghana Police, IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno and the entire Police Service for this honour, recognition, and trust. For the people. For the youth. For the motherland," he added.
The Ghana Police Badge of Service is an honorary emblem awarded to civilians who have made extraordinary contributions to public service or provided exceptional support to law enforcement. It carries no police authority or arresting power, serving purely as a symbol of appreciation and trust from the service.

"From dancehall to discipline. Ghana really rewards celebrity worship more than actual public service these days. Interesting how musicians are now getting police honors while many officers risking their lives daily remain unknown. This is one thing Shatta Wale can never get."
