Ashaiman has become less attractive to criminals due to heightened security measures implemented by the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) and community watchdogs. The area has been transformed into a secure 24-hour business center, attracting various businesses. Recognized security patrols, mainly youth, complement the efforts of the police who have limited patrol vehicles.
Commercial motorbike operators have also formed unions, resulting in minimal theft cases. Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Orlando Joseph Adzokpa, the Ashaiman District Police Commander, expressed confidence that Ashaiman is no longer a safe haven for criminals. He emphasized that the thriving businesses in the area are proof of the strong security measures in place.
DSP Orlando stated that the population of Ashaiman continues to grow due to the safe and secure business environment. A recent donation of a new ISUZU pickup vehicle by a local businessman, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdul Rahman, has been welcomed by the District Police Command, which now has two patrol vehicles. This new vehicle is a significant motivation for the command, as the previous patrol vehicle had been frequently taken to a mechanic shop for repairs.
The increased security in Ashaiman has led to the displacement of criminals who previously used the area as a hideout.
