MEET OUR WOMEN IN POLICING NOMINEES…
We have had more than 40 nominations for this year’s Outstanding Contribution to Women in Policing Award, with the winner to be presented by Dame Cressida Dick on Wednesday 9 June 2021 at our Virtual Annual Conference.
Devon and Cornwall – Sergeant Becky Davies set up a support group to help colleagues manage home and work life. It allows discussion about issues like as maternity leave, post-natal depression and caring for family members with illnesses. Also nominated is DC Kate Hillman for 30 years’ outstanding service and her ‘professional and compassionate’ contribution to safeguarding.
Dorset – DI Dawn Barrett has paved the way for tougher practices in domestic violence cases. She was instrumental in forming a multi-agency risk assessment process which has provided better protections for victims of domestic abuse.
GMP – DS Julie Connor worked tirelessly on a complex murder case involving 13 offenders, demonstrating ‘perseverance and great leadership’, while fellow

nominee DC Keri Aldritt did some great work supporting new and expectant parents throughout the pandemic.
Hampshire – DI Rod Kenny set up a Miscarriage and Baby Loss Group within his Force and his input has led to guidance for managers on how to deal with employees who suffered a loss.
Metropolitan – DS Kelly Ryan has been a ‘symbol of justice and hope’ for sexually exploited teenage girls after her persistence and attention to detail resulted in charges. Thanks to her efforts, three and a half years after the initial allegations, all the victims are still willing to attend court and give their evidence. DC Jurgita Korsakaite worked on serious and complex investigations, including bringing an offender to justice for 44 offences including rape and sexual assault
– he was jailed for 21 years. Assistant DI Nicola Hawkins successfully dismantled an organised crime group which used extreme violence. The operation resulted in 41 members being charged with firearms, drugs and money laundering offences. One of the cash seizures exceeded £5 million, the single largest seizure ever in the UK. Special Constable Rtaka Hunter has worked on a number of high-risk missing persons cases and her volunteering over the weekends and late at night has helped alleviate pressure on the team. DC Rebecca Chappell has volunteered for 15 years as membership secretary of the Met’s Disability Staff Association. Her work resulted in the number of members increasing by 3,000, meaning more officers with disabilities get representation and useful information.
