Police officer and musician, ACP Kofi Sarpong, says his music journey began long before he embarked on a career in law enforcement.
In an interview on ‘Y’adwuma nie’ on Angel FM with Ohemaa Woyeje, ACP Sarpong shared his story of balancing his passion for music with his duty as a police officer.
ACP Kofi Sarpong explained that his love for music predates his enrollment into the Ghana Police Service.
“I was a musician way back but I only hit the limelight while in service in 2009. Even after graduating as a constable, I often sang in churches, though not all were welcoming,” he noted.
Kofi Sarpong became widely known for his music when he was serving as a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
However, pursuing his passion for music while being a police officer was not without its challenges.
“One of the toughest things was informing the administration that I wanted to go to the studio to record music,” ACP Sarpong revealed.
To his surprise, the police administration approved his request, allowing him to pursue his musical career while continuing his service.
“I received their approval, and I was able to continue my music career without giving up my role as a police officer,” he stated.
