Congratulations to...

...Sergeant Sharon Bach of the Edmonton Police Service on her retirement.  Sharon contacted me about a month ago to let me know that she was starting "pre-retirement" leave.  This marks the end of an absolutely stellar 30 year career.  Sharon may be better known to many IAWP friends as the Conference Director from the IAWP 2001 Conference in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.   Please be sure to check the fall issue of Women Police for further highlights of Sharon's work and lifetime achievements.  In the meantime, please join me in wishing her luck as she moves the next phase in her life.

...Vancouver Police Department for their celebrations this year of 100 years of women in policing in the city.  The VPD is hosting a conference this fall (just after IAWP 2012) to mark this occassion.  The Vancouver Police Museum will creating special biographies of past and present women police.  I hope to keep in touch with one or two well known IAWP/VPD members and post thier bios here for you.  Be sure to check back over the summer!  For those of you wishing more information on this event, titled the Evolution of Policing, please follow this link to the registration page: http://vancouver.ca/police/assets/pdf/forms/evolution-policing-registration.pdf

...to all police MOMs who work, drive kids to sporting events, take care of the house hold and manage to keep all of those balls in the air!  In fact....congratulations to all MOMs, whatever you do, for all that you do!

Happy Mother's Day everyone.
