  "account": "Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has instructed Ghana Police Service personnel to refrain from posting content on social media platforms while on duty. This warning comes in response to an increase in videos featuring police personnel, which the Minister believes tarnishes the image of the service and diverts officers' focus from their primary duty of protecting lives and property. Speaking at the inauguration of the Regional Command Conference, Mohammed-Mubarak expressed his concerns about officers and trainers allowing the recording and sharing of videos of recruits' training on social media. He emphasized that training schools must remain platforms that uphold discipline, professionalism, and service, and not become spaces for content that infringes on the privacy, dignity, or security of trainees. The Minister urged all Service Commanders to implement immediate measures to ensure compliance with these directives. He also addressed the growing trend of self-protection groups, noting that the Vigilantism and Related Offences Act prohibits such formations, and called for their eradication. Mohammed-Mubarak further highlighted government's commitment to enhancing the Ghana Police Service through technological innovations, such as automated traffic enforcement and the deployment of a national criminal automated biometric identification system, to improve road safety and criminal investigations. He reassured the police force of the government's support and commitment to upholding the highest standards of accountability, integrity, and professionalism.",
