ESTABLISHING AN INDEPENDENT POLICE COMPLAINT BODY IN GHANA

This Report is the outcome of CHRI Africa’s research conducted to aid the process of establishing an independent police oversight mechanism. The Report synthesizes best practices from selected countries and recommends a good mix of factors to be taken into account when fashioning a mechanism for Ghana. It is CHRI’s hope that the Report will inform the Police, Ministry of Interior (MOI) and Parliament in particular as well as expedite efforts to establish an independent Police oversight institution as soon as possible. The Report, CHRI expects, will serve as an advocacy tool for civil society actors here in Ghana and across the continent to motivate for the establishment of similar structures in Africa to enhance police accountability.
