Superintendent of Police Josephine Adeh, the FCT Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, has clinched the prestigious title of Public Relations Officer of the Year 2024 at the Nigeria Police and Commendation Night. It’s a moment of well-deserved recognition, shining a spotlight on her dedication and skill in handling police communications.

Close on her heels were SP Tockukwu Ikenga from Anambra State and DSP Maureen Chinaka of Abia State, who earned the runner-up spots, showing the depth of talent within the force.

“I am overwhelmed and emotional this evening, I never expected it, but I’m glad I won it. This shows that the Inspector General of Police, the world is really watching what we are doing. It is a kind of motivation that all the hardwork is not unrecognised and it’s being appreciated.

“I dedicate this award to my boss and Mentor, DIG Frank Mba, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Adejobi Olumuyiwa members of the press and the entire populace “. She concluded

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Year 2024 award was fiercely contested, with numerous nominations pouring in from across the country.

It’s a testament to the hard work and relentless commitment these officers put into shaping the public image and transparency of the police force. Their efforts in managing communication under pressure and fostering public trust are what set them apart in a challenging and often thankless role.
