COMMISSIONER of Police (CoP) Allister Guevarro saluted the efforts of women to establish themselves in the police service over the past 70 years, from modest beginnings where they dealt with only women and children to today playing a key role in the state of emergency (SoE) and in leading key police divisions.

He addressed a parade and dinner at the Police Academy in St James on August 29 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of women first joining the police service.

The event was chaired by Sen Sup Claire Guy-Alleyne and WPC Connell-Adams.
