A moving tribute ceremony was held yesterday at the Israel Police Heritage House in honor of retired Superintendent Hannah Jacobson, who is celebrating one hundred years of life and contribution.
In 1948, with the establishment of the state, Hannah enlisted in the Israel Police and served in the Forensic Science Division. Throughout her service, she held significant positions, including a unique and important role as an interpreter from German to Hebrew in Bureau 06 during the Eichmann trial – a formative historical chapter in the history of the nation and the state.
Hannah is one of the first policewomen of the Israel Police, a true pioneer who, with courage, dedication, and modesty, paved the way for generations of policewomen and officers who followed her. Her legacy lives and beats in every policewoman who wears a uniform to this day.
During the ceremony, Hannah was promoted to a symbolic rank of Superintendent, a symbolic and moving gesture of deep appreciation for her many years of contribution to the Israel Police and the State of Israel. The ceremony was attended by representatives from the Investigations and Intelligence Directorate, the Human Resources Directorate, the Training Directorate, and Hannah’s family members, who accompanied her with emotion and pride.
Great thanks and appreciation to Superintendent Natanel Moshel, Welfare Officer of the Investigations and Intelligence Directorate, for a moving and worthy initiative, to the History Department at the National College (Training Directorate), to the Forensic Science Division, and to the Retirement Department/Recruitment and Release Division in the Human Resources Directorate.
