The Security Department is one of the most vital arms of Citizen Eye Ghana (CITEG). In a country where security challenges such as illicit trade, land disputes, armed robbery, cybercrime, and community violence continue to threaten peace and development, the role of citizen-based security initiatives cannot be overstated. The CITEG Security Department was established to bridge the gap between state security agencies and the everyday citizen, ensuring that Ghanaians are not only protected but also empowered to take part in safeguarding their communities.

The department works in close collaboration with law enforcement institutions, traditional authorities, and local community groups to enhance public safety. Its initiatives focus on citizen surveillance, crime reporting, and intelligence gathering to curb organized criminal activities that often go unnoticed. Beyond policing support, the department also plays an active role in advocacy, pushing for greater transparency and accountability in Ghana’s security sector.

One of its flagship activities is training community members in safety awareness, emergency response, and conflict resolution. By doing this, CITEG Security ensures that security is not the sole preserve of the state but a shared responsibility of the people. The department also monitors issues like the illegal importation of stolen vehicles, smuggling, and environmental crimes such as illegal mining, which not only threaten Ghana’s economy but also its social fabric.

Ultimately, the Security Department envisions a Ghana where security is people-centered, justice is upheld, and communities live without fear. It positions itself as a watchdog, ensuring that both public and private actors are held accountable to the laws of the land.
