DCOP Donkor, a seasoned law enforcement officer and legal expert, previously served as the Safety and Security Head of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Beyond her law enforcement career, DCOP Donkor is the CEO of Police Ladies FC, a top club in the Ghana Women’s Premier League. Under her leadership, the team has grown into a formidable force in women’s football.
Her appointment comes alongside other key changes within the police hierarchy. DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwa Addo-Danquah has been named Director-General for Research and Planning, while Commissioner of Police (COP) Paul Manly Awini now leads the Service Workshop in Accra.
These shifts form part of the newly restructured 31-member Police Management Board, tasked with strengthening law enforcement operations and public security across the country.
