The Nigeria Police Force has commended a female police officer, Inspector Justina Rita Omogbai, attached to the Traffic Unit of the Sabo Divisional Headquarters in Lagos State, for her commitment and acts of professionalism.
The officer received the commendation for her display of professionalism in the course of her traffic duties.
NPF commended the officer in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday January 24, 2023.
NPF stated that the officer positively represents the Force amongst the community, particularly to schoolchildren crossing the road at her duty post, by taking personal steps to ensure they are properly dressed and safe while heading to and from schools.
The NPF noted that her gesture aligns with the Community Policing tenets and the concept of “Catching Them Young”, as the formative age is very vital to training children to be law-abiding and compliant with regulations; and her singular action brings to their memories the standard practice of Nigeria Police Traffic Officers.
While commending the officer, the Inspector-General of Police charged all officers and men “to emulate her good conduct and be shining examples in their respective jurisdictions”.
He equally tasked officers to be law-abiding even as they sow the seed of appropriate civic behaviour in the minds and hearts of members of their communities, particularly the young ones, who can serve as evangelists of values and good potentials of the NPF contrary to the present erroneous perception.
