In this chapter, the book continues the narrative of how the Police Force in Ghana was constructed during the last half-century of colonial rule, from 1900 up until political independence in 1957. The chapter is broken down into two composite parts: the period from 1900 to the mid-1940s; and the period from the mid-1940s to 1957. The former represents the period of the most intense political domination and economic exploitation, with the formal consolidation of colonial rule over the Colony, the annexation of Ashanti in 1901 and the declaration of the Northern Territories as a British Protectorate on New Year’s Day in 1902. In terms of economic exploitation, the period saw the end of hesitancy in Britain’s approach to the Gold Coast and a determination to thoroughly exploit all the available resources they could find. All of these were mediated by the training of the Police Force to enforce the “Rule of Law”, with as much brutality as was necessary to serve the various purposes. Naturally, the latter period (the mid-1940s to 1957) saw many aggravated security situations and associated tensions, and the expansion and retooling of the police to meet the new challenges. This meant that the paramilitary strain of the police force had to be activated and deployed quite often, leading to the honing of those skills that would later serve the new independence leaders, as they sought to contain a population that was increasingly restless as the promise of independence continued to show little tangible benefits. The chapter concludes that the militarization of the police force continued until Independence Day, when Ghana was handed a brutal Police Force, well trained, fully oriented, and logistically ready to unleash itself on the population at the command of the new Sovereign.
