The Ghanaian Times commends the Ghana Police service, for instituting a fifty thousand insurance cover for every Police officer to cater for their  children's educational needs, incase of any eventuality. The paper is not certain whether the service will continue to donate any amount towards the funeral of any officer  with the introduction of the insurance cover. The Ghananian times  calls for an additional fund to compensate families of a deceased officer in the line of duty.

The Daily Graphic Describes  the move by the IGP  to institute a welfare package for personnel as laudable and refreshing. The paper says the package will transform and boost the morale of  the police to carry out their duties in a dicplined  manner. It urges  the IGP not to rest on his oars but keep the  personnel on their toes to deliver what is expected of them. The Graphic believes too many of personel do not discharge their duties professionally which makes road trafic offences common. The paper  is of the view that unless dicipline is restored on the streets, the MTTU trianing will be one of many wasted efforts to bring sanity into the department and the entirety of the police service.
