Ghana Police decentralise criminal clearance services to regional police commands

The Ghana Police Service has decentralised criminal clearance services nationwide as a first step towards a fully automated procedure as part of its transformational goal to improve the delivery of policing services to the general population.

People seeking criminal clearance may do so in any of the 25 Police regions nationwide effective Monday, May 22, 2023.

Currently, all criminal background checks are conducted exclusively at the CID Headquarters, Accra, and individuals and organisations who require this service have to travel all the way to Accra just for this purpose.

In order to ease this burden, the criminal clearance service has been decentralised to all the twenty-five (25) Police Regions across the country and the service can now be assessed from these locations without the need to come to Accra.
