Partnerships
While female police officers benefited from empowerment on health issues like cervical cancer, depression, breast cancer, and reproductive and maternal health, Mrs. Tenge also facilitated partnerships with the King James Foundation and the Ghana Medical Missions (USA) to offer health screening to police officers and donate medical supplies to the police hospital.
The Ghana Blood Bank and the Police Hospital collaborated to assist the hospital stockpile its blood supply, and quarterly seminars on stress management, mental health, suicide prevention, and lifestyle illnesses were organised for police officers in order to maintain their health.
In 2020, Mrs. Tenge coordinated a training session with the Greater Accra Regional Hospital to give police officers advice on public health safety as they began their operational responsibilities to impose limitations during lockdown in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The "City Police," founded by Mrs. Tenge, was created to recognise and reward diligent employees and inspire others to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities.
Along with the Ghana Education Service and the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit, she launched a programme in the Volta Region to empower 5,900 junior and senior high school students to recognise early sexual approaches and speak out.
She was a member of the Public Affairs and Community Engagement (PACE) team that created an Internal and External Communication Strategy for the National Border Security Strategy as part of the Ghana-US coordinated Security Governance Initiative. The strategy was based on an Integrated Border Management (IBM) agenda (SGI).
According to Ms. Tenge, the strategic partnerships that law enforcement agencies form with the communities they serve via ongoing involvement and understanding are a key factor in determining their effectiveness.
