​”Our role at the NPTF is clear: we must continue to support the Force in three critical areas- training, equipment, and mobility,” the Executive Secretary stated, highlighting that procurement interventions will align directly with the primary operational needs identified by police leadership.

​Key focus areas outlined by the NPTF included targeted training, essential equipment, and enhanced mobility.

​Beyond logistical support, Seidu noted the connection between police conduct and public trust, noting that officers at polling units represent the most visible face of election security.

Senior officers were urged to enforce strict standards of professionalism, impartiality, and legal compliance to foster voter confidence.
