The district is generally calm and peaceful. Although the police-citizens ratio is not up to the UN approved standard of one policeman to 500 citizens, the Ghana Police Service have acquitted themselves in maintaining law and order in the District. In extreme circumstance, the Operation Gongon intervenes to ensure sanity. The preponderant crime in the district is thievery followed by cattle wrestling. The greatest threat to the security of the district is massive youth unemployment. The Fulani herdsmen are also a security menace in the district.
