Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Alison Raji Atuluk, an officer of the Ghana Police Service, has been awarded by the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) for her outstanding service.
ASP Atuluk received a Certificate of Recognition from the United Nations for her professionalism and commitment to peace and security in the Central African Republic. She was awarded after becoming the first female officer to command a UN parade in the Central African Republic.
During the ceremonial parade, ASP Atuluk “flawlessly commanded and demonstrated discipline, precision, and leadership, earning praise from UN authorities and the Inspector-General of Police of the Central African Republic,” a statement by the Ghana Police Service said.
“Beyond her impressive leadership, ASP Atuluk is committed to mentoring and empowering others. She continues to work with colleagues to mentor CAR’s policewomen, share her expertise, and build the capacity of local law enforcement.
“Her efforts are contributing significantly to promoting peace and stability in the region,” the statement added.
The Ghana Police Service stated that ASP Atuluk’s achievements demonstrate the Service’s commitment to international peacekeeping and the significant role played by Ghanaian women in enhancing global security.
“Service to humanity knows no borders,” she said after receiving the honor. “I am proud to represent Ghana and contribute to peace in CAR while empowering my fellow women in uniform.”
ASP Atuluk’s feat comes a month after the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, Commissioner of Police (COP) Lydia Yaako Donkor, made history by being elected to the newly formed Interpol Africa Committee.
She became the first Ghanaian ever to serve on a regional committee of INTERPOL, the world’s largest police organization, and the only female member on the Africa Committee.
