The South African Police Service (SAPS) Component Head for Corporate Communication and Liaison, Major General Nonkululeko Phokane, is among the distinguished speakers at the first Global Communication Forum hosted by INTERPOL.
The forum is underway in Lyon, France.
The high-level forum has brought together heads of communication, spokespersons, and communication experts from INTERPOL member countries, providing a platform to exchange best practice and strengthen global cooperation in law enforcement communication.
During her presentation, Phokane reflected on the critical role of communication in a contested and rapidly evolving environment.
She emphasised that effective communication is central to modern policing, particularly in shaping public perception and countering misinformation.
She further highlighted the importance of proactively communicating policing successes as a means of building and sustaining public trust.
“SAPS remains committed to strengthening its communication capabilities in line with global best practice, recognising that trusted and transparent communication is key to effective policing,” the South African Police Service said in a statement. – SAnews.gov.za
