The Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), Commissioner of Police (COP) Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, has charged graduates of Junior Staff Course 81 to be fully committed to problem-solving. She made the call during their graduation ceremony at the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC) on Friday 14 June 2024.

COP Tiwaa urged the graduates to uphold discipline, integrity, and dedication within the Ghana Armed Forces by applying the knowledge and expertise they acquired during their training. She emphasised that the course would enable them to broaden their professional and general outlook on national and international matters.

The EOCO boss reminded the students that the world faces various threats to peace and security, including terrorism, ethnic and religious disputes, and natural and environmental disasters. She appealed to them to constantly strive for a clearer understanding of how to mitigate these threats.

"I exhort you, therefore, as professional military officers, to be proactive in your awareness and preparations at all times, to stay ahead of the challenges you might encounter in your future endeavors," she added.

The Assistant Commandant, Junior Division, Brigadier General Albert Kwadwo Dawohoso, reported that the course had 76 students, with 67 from the Ghana Armed Forces and 9 Allied students.

Major Michael Ekpale was adjudged the overall best student, while Captain Victor Ngbede and Major Etornam Nuapah were recognized as the best Allied student and recipient of the Everard Award, respectively. The best Air Force student went to Squadron Leader Ivy NA Tetteh.
