A delegation of nine South Australia Police members, including Commissioner Grant Stevens, attended last night’s Australasian Council of Women and Policing (ACWAP) ‘Excellence in Policing’ Awards at Crown Perth, according to SA Police.
The annual Awards, held in conjunction with the ACWAP Professional Development Seminar, recognize the achievements of women and men working to improve law enforcement and policing outcomes for women.
Chief Inspector Denise Gray (left) was a finalist in the Most Outstanding Female Leader category, and Detective Brevet Sergeant Michelle Alexander (centre), was a finalist in the Integrity and Courage award.
Brevet Sergeant Alexander was nominated for her role in driving significant cultural reform within SAPOL, to address allegations of bullying, gendered discrimination, sexual harassment and predatory behaviour.
Chief Inspector Gray was nominated for her contributions as a dedicated mentor, and for her positive role in reducing the risk of corruption, danger to the community and profiteering from organized crime.
Inspector Joanne Howard of SA Police served as MC for the event.
Congratulations to our homegrown nominees for their outstanding achievements!
