O. Lamptey, applied for an appointment in the Ghana Police Service on 9th July 1965 whilst working in the Ministry of Communication as a Senior Executive Officer.<br><br>The then President eventually approved his application and he was subsequently transferred to the Police Service and appointed Deputy Superintendent of Police on 25th November 1965. Immediately after his appointment he joined the cadet course and was commissioned into the officer corps in January 1966. By dint of hard work, he earned further promotions as follows:<br><br>* Superintendent of Police &#8211; 1st July 1967<br>* Chief Superintendent of Police &#8211; 1st June 1970<br>* Assistant Commissioner of Police &#8211; 1st March 1974<br>* Deputy Commissioner &#8211; 1st August 1977<br><br>Mr Charles Odartey Lamptey, (Rtd), after serving with high commitment and diligence, was appointed the Inspector-General of Police on 5th June 1979; a position he held until his retirement from the Service on 27th November 1979.<br><br>He was the eighth (8th) Inspector-General of Police. Though he had a relatively short period in office as the Inspector-General of Police, there is no doubt that he really worked hard to uplift the image of the Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\" id=\"attachment_133\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/w5p2r8x5.stackpathcdn.com\/photos\/news\/202208\/208142136_830550.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
