The Ghana Public Security Agency Awards are being organized in recognition of  the crucial importance that the nation’s security agencies play in providing an exemplary platform on which Ghana’s widely applauded economic growth and development, sustained inclusive democracy, social justice and the rule of law, and its civil peace, security and stability have been built. Indeed, this role has become even more important by the outbreak of the COVID 19 pandemic which has made the public effort to curb the rate of infection – through policies such as border closure and internal restrictions on movement, gatherings and personal conduct –and maintain peace in the face of inevitable rising tensions among households, institutions and enterprises alike all the more vital.
