Commissioner of Police (COP), Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has been transferred to the Interior Ministry to serve as the Minister’s Technical Advisor.

The reassignment comes hours after the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, appointment her as the Director-General of Research & Planning at the Ghana Police Service.

According to a letter from the Presidency, it is anticipated that the Commissioner would communicate with the appropriate authorities to guarantee a seamless transfer into her new position.

“His Excellency the President recognizes and deeply appreciates your unwavering dedication, professionalism, and invaluable contributions to the nation. It is his firm belief that your expertise and commitment will continue to serve the country effectively in your new capacity,” portions of the statement signed by Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama said.

COP Tiwa Addo-Danquah had earlier been appointed as the Director-General of Research and Planning as part of a reshuffle within the Ghana Police Service.

A statement issued by the Public Affairs Directorate of the Service on March 19, 2025, confirmed the changes, which were expected to take immediate effect.

Before this reassignment, COP Addo-Danquah recently returned to the Police after serving as the Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

She has also previously held the position of Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
