👮♀️ National Police Woman Day | September 12 💙
Today, the Fisher College Criminal Justice Club is proud to recognize National Police Woman Day, a day dedicated to honoring the courage, leadership, service, and contributions of women in law enforcement.
Women have helped shape policing at every level while building careers in a profession that has historically been—and continues to be—predominantly male. Today is an opportunity to recognize not only how far women in law enforcement have come, but also the talent, determination, and leadership they bring to the profession every day.
We are especially lucky to have one of those leaders right here at Fisher.
💙 Chief Sherry Belanger, Chief of the Fisher College Police Department and co-advisor to the Criminal Justice Club, is an incredible example of what leadership in law enforcement looks like. She is a mentor, advocate, educator, and role model for our students—and, quite simply, she is awesome at what she does.
Chief Belanger brings real-world experience into the lives of our CJ students, supports their professional goals, and shows our future criminal justice professionals the importance of leading with integrity, compassion, confidence, and strength. We are incredibly grateful that she chooses to share her time and experience with our club and our students.
To all of our alumnae serving in law enforcement and women officers everywhere: thank you for your service, your leadership, and for continuing to pave the way for those who will follow.
Happy National Police Woman Day! 👮♀️💙
