The District is one of the many mining districts in the country and hence the construction been fully funded by the Mineral Development Fund.
Amansie South which has an estimated population of seventy seven thousand (77,000) but currently has only 32 police officers in the whole district which makes crime control very difficult especially as there is a lot of commercial activities especially mining in the district.
