He added that the operation was built on intelligence they gathered on intended criminal activities and attacks on members of society during the December Yuletide.
The launch follows a similar exercise in Accra during which the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Oppong-Boanuh and the Director-General of Police Operations, COP George Alex Mensah led the police operational teams on a route march through some principal streets of Accra.
