I also work to control people who embark on demonstrations and when the need arises disperse them with tear gas and rubber bullets, which are not harmful. Violence brings about political instability and as a result we try as much as possible to stop people who embark on violent demonstrations. Demonstrators who don't obtain police permits are considered to be organizing violence in the country and hence we arrest them. He felt it was a big mistake for live bullets which are meant for criminals like armed robbers to be directed on unarmed students embarking on a peaceful demonstration. I also arrest people who fight in the society.
Fighting is a violent means of settling disputes and hence is an offense.
Sometimes I accompany people, mostly business men and women, to their customers who owe them some amount of money on credit purchases. This behavior is to some extent outside our official duties because if someone fails to settle a debt at the stipulated time, a complaint should be lodged at the police station for the person to be arrested and prosecuted at the court. However, I do it to stop the arrest. Luckily enough I have succeeded in all the attempts made, and I enjoy some cedis as a form of thanks for my efforts. I also go on patrol when a report is made about criminal activities in an area.
