The Police Administration has made some changes at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Graphic Online has gathered.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Mr Bright Oduro, who was Director General in charge of Welfare has been moved to the CID as the new Director General.
He is to be assisted by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo Danquah as the Second in Command (2IC).
ACP Addo Danquah hitherto was the 2IC at the Police Intelligence and Professional Standards (PIPS) directorate.

His deputy, ACP Dennis Abade has also been moved to the headquarters as 2IC in charge of special duties.
