Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between police-public relations and security effectiveness in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. It highlights the critical role of effective communication, mutual trust, and community collaboration in enhancing public safety and law enforcement outcomes. Adopting a secondary research method and an opinion-based analytical approach, the study draws from scholarly articles, government reports, media sources, and civil society publications to explore the dynamics of police-community interactions within the region. The findings reveal that strained relationships, public distrust, and perceived police brutality significantly hinder security efforts. The study emphasizes the need for community policing, professional conduct, and public engagement strategies to foster trust and cooperation between the police and the public. Ultimately, it recommends proactive reforms and inclusive policing frameworks as vital tools for improving security and sustaining peace in Akwa Ibom State.
