ABOUT THE GHANA POLICE SERVICE
Records show that Policing started in the year 1831 in the then Gold Coast. Prior to that, maintenance of law and order was executed by traditional authorities such as local headsmen and chiefs, who employed unpaid messengers to carry out executive and judicial functions in their respective communities. However, in 1831, guarded forts and castles in the Gold Coast.
In 1844, these troops were reorganized and named the Gold Coast Militia, becoming the law enforcement agency for the government of the then Gold Coast. Later the Gold Coast Militia became the Gold Coast Police Force. They were said to have operated with coercive military orientation. Their duties included escorting representatives of government. The Escorts among them acted with such impunity that they were described by the indigenes as “buga buga boys”.
In 1902, the Gold Coast Police Force was divided into the General Police and Escort Police. The Escort Police was made up of illiterates and semi-illiterates who were employed entirely on guard duties while the General Police was made up of literates who underwent proper civil police training.
Political disturbances in the Gold Coast led to the establishment of the Special Branch, the intelligent unit of the Gold Coast Police in 1948.
