He said that the welfare programme of the inspector-general covers the serving, retired and deceased personnel of the force.
He urged the beneficiaries to make the best use of the financial support and desist from creating division in the family because of the money.
“I urge you all to make the best use of the amount for the prosperity of the family, especially the children of the deceased,” he said.
In another development, Mr Grimah said that the police in the state have arrested 20 suspected criminals across the state within the last four months.
