This ethnographic study examines gender-disaggregated police performance in smaller towns of Ghana, reflecting on similar studies conducted in Ethiopia. Ethnographic research methods were employed, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document review. Gender-based disparities were evident in response times, where female officers took longer to respond to calls compared to their male counterparts (20% difference). The findings highlight the need for gender-sensitive training and policy adjustments to enhance police accountability and responsiveness. Introduce mandatory gender sensitivity training for all police officers and implement data disaggregation policies that track performance by gender.
