The acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. John Kudalor, has warned that his administration will not compromise with any criminal­ity from supporters of any political party.

The acting IGP assured Ghanaians of a world-class professional and well-resourceful Police Service in the country, saying his administration would ensure a world-class standard policing as far as the enforcement of law and order for the security and safety of the citizenry were concerned.

He also promised to operate an Open Door policy to give all officers equal opportunity to perform their duties to the best of their ability.
