According to Mr. Appeakorang, since his assumption of office as the IGP, the integrity of the service kept tumbling therefore calling for urgent steps to redeem the image of the service was in place.

Mr. Appeakorang disclosed, "I have keenly followed the work of the Ghana Police Service since the current Inspector-General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare assumed office, I discovered the integrity of the service is dwindling".

He stressed that current events in the service, including recruitment,
promotion, and interdiction of officers; the involvement of officers in crime;  the inhumane and unprofessional interactions of officers with the general public, left much to be desired.
The sad situation, he decried is crippling the service.

"I say this as a victim of injustice, and ready to reduce evidence to prove my case", the disappointed leader cried out.

Mr. Appeakorang is availing himself to reduce evidence of being a victim.

He bemoaned what the "voiceless in society might have been subjected to by the unprofessional misconduct of officers.

"I believe this is not right and Ghanaians do not have such a superficial demeanor. As a concerned citizen, I recognize, and respect the law and the safety of all citizens.

The SNFL President describes the actions of the IGP as one that falls short of reminiscing the adage "leadership by example" adding, "This is not right, Ghanaians desire better and robust service for safety and confidence in ourselves and the various institutions. I respectfully petition your Excellency to call the Inspector-General of Police to order to ensure that he and his personnel work for the safety of all Ghanaians, especially the vulnerable, and not for their short-lived fame", he berated.
