Day with the Merchant Navy Women's Network.

Yesterday I spent the day with a group of female British and Dutch Female Merchant Navy Officers helping them setting up their network. It was like going back in time as they discussed their issues and working situations. Strong parallels with policewomen as they are pioneers working in a male dominated world, but with the added complexities of always working internationally . It went very well and they hope to seek more advice and support from us.

Kentucky Conference 2011

Ladies,

Have you booked for Conference yet? Its only two and a half months away and will be one of the best experiences of your Police career. Europe has won two IAWP awards. Congratulations to Inspector Nicky Flowers from South Wales Police who has won the mentoring award and to Constables Cath Morgan, Di Shaw and Kate Peplow from Birmingham who have won a Medal of Valor for their parts in tackling a gang of armed robbers.

Remember anyone can nominate somone for an award, they don't have to be a member of IAWP, but have normally won their National Network's equivalent prize.
