 Present

C. The present Quartermaster-General is ACP./Mr. Francis Ebenezer Doku. He is ably assisted by  Supt./Mr. William Kofi Sarpong (in-charge supplies). Some of the regions have officers in-charge of the stores who are responsible to their Regional Commanders and also the Quartermaster-General.

D. The unit has large storage facilities for Stationery, Clothing and Equipment, Station Stores, Hardware and Building Materials among others. These stores are controlled by some experienced personnel trained over the years in effective storekeeping and stock control.

FUNCTIONS
It is the responsibility of the Quartermaster Stores to procure Clothing and Equipment, etc from both foreign and local sources, provide storage facilities for the items and supply accordingly to members of the service. It is also the responsibility of the unit to keep the service running by providing office equipment and stationery to all the Regions/Divisions/Districts/Units/Stations and Posts and also supply tyres and batteries to our service vehicles, among other equally important functions.

  • Procurement  - As an institution governed by rules and regulations of the state, the Police Service and for that matter the Quartermaster Stores embark on its procurement process with strict compliance to the Public Procurement Act. When it becomes necessary to procure items for the service, adverts are made in the dailies for interested companies to bid. We shortlist and award contracts to companies that meet our standard. If the item could be procured locally, the company or companies short listed are issued with Purchase Orders that contain details.
  • Receipt- When the items are delivered to the stores, they are subjected to rigorous inspection by a team made up of the Procurement Officer, Internal Auditors, the Storekeeper concerned and most importantly the supplier or his representative. The Storekeeper then receives the items and take then on ledger charge. However, if the items do not conform to our specification, they are rejected at the supplier
