Police detectives who are fond of speaking the local language, Twi while giving evidence in court have been advised to desist from that act because it brings disgrace to the police profession.
The Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), COP Isaac Ken Yeboah, said some of the detectives during cross-examination in court as witnesses, prefer speaking in local dialect instead of the Standard English.

He is of the view that speaking English should be a source of pride to any police detective as should be critical interrogation of subjects and report writing.

“When you go to court, to testify, don’t go and say, My Lord, please I will speak Twi. It should be out of the question. It brings disgrace to the service,” he is quoted to have said.
