ACP Dolapo Badmos Appointed Nigeria Police Representative to UN Headquarters

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has approved the deployment of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Dolapo Badmos as the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) Permanent Mission’s Representative to the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

The appointment, according to Force Headquarters, reflects the ongoing commitment of the NPF to strengthen Nigeria’s presence in global security and international law enforcement initiatives.

A Distinguished Career
ACP Dolapo Badmos is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable faces of the Nigeria Police, with a career marked by professionalism, diligence, and outstanding service. Before her new assignment, she served as Assistant Commissioner of Police in Federal Operations at the Department of Force Intelligence, Abuja.

Her rise through the ranks has seen her hold both operational and administrative positions, but her breakthrough came during her celebrated tenure as Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for Lagos State Command and later Zone 2 Command. In these roles, she became a household name, admired for her articulate communication style, swift crisis response, and bridge-building approach with the media.

Global Recognition and New Mandate
ACP Badmos’ new role at the United Nations will see her contribute to international discussions on law enforcement, security cooperation, and policing reforms — a testament to Nigeria’s readiness to project its expertise on the world stage.

Her deployment is also symbolic: it highlights the growing recognition of female officers in high-level policing and global diplomacy, serving as an inspiration to young women aspiring to careers in law enforcement.

A Media-Savvy Trailblazer
Beyond her operational roles, ACP Badmos is known for redefining police–media relations in Nigeria. Her ability to communicate effectively with the public and present the Force in a professional light earned her accolades from journalists, civil society, and citizens alike.

As she takes on her new assignment at the UN, ACP Badmos is expected to bring the same blend of competence, discipline, and innovation that has defined her career in Nigeria.
