I would like to salute all the women who have been recently promoted and for all your actions and activities within your local WAN. For those going through hard times, please receive all my sympathy. I would like to thank AFP Jonelle Lancashire for her involvement and patience within the PICP WAN. I am delighted to welcome our new Programme Manager of PICP WAN Kevin Kneebone, who without doubt is taking his new position as a gift. A special dedication to the PICP Secretariat and all those little hands working behind the scene to enhance women in policing. Finally, I wish all the best to the 2017 PICP Seconded Officers, and I am sure that the experience will be unforgettable. I am looking forward to meeting up with the members attending the PICP Conference in Guam 21-24 August 2017. Warm regards to you all from the Tahiti Police National – Women’s Advisory Network (TPN-WAN) and the PICP Chair Commissioner Francois Perrault. Mauru’uru New Programme Manager for PICP WAN: The PICP Secretariat Executive Director Superintendent Waata Shepherd would like to welcome the new WAN Programme Manager Inspector Kevin Kneebone MNZM to the WAN. ‘Kevin and I have worked together for a number of years and he will use his vast policing knowledge in taking the WAN forward throughout the PICP. These are exciting times for the WAN and we look forward to new developments in the future’ said Supt. Shepherd. While welcoming Kevin, Mr Shepherd also acknowledged the contribution of Australian Federal Agent Jonny Lancashire during her time as WAN Programme Manager. ‘Jonnie took over from the 2 | P a g e previous Programme Manager Melissa Northam, and took the programme to another level and done an excellent job at the helm of the WAN. We are now in a space where we have female Deputy Commissioners, and the promotion of high ranking Officers in other jurisdictions. Jonny will remain in the PICP Secretariat based in Wellington NZ working on other PICP mandated programmes. We wish her well and again thank her for sharing her expertise with PICP WAN’ said Supt. Shepherd . Photos: Top left Inspector Kevin Kneebone MNZM. Right, outgoing Programme Manager Australian Federal Agent Jonelle (Jonny) Lancashire . Seconded Officers Join PICP Secretariat: I am Constable Shalon Time from the Samoa Police Service going on to 10 years as a Police Officer. I’ve been a Police Prosecutor for about 6-7 years and was also attached to the Legal Advisor for the Ministry as a legal assistant. I was then transferred to the Domestic Violence Unit as a Police prosecutor/representative for Protection Order Matters in the Family Violence Court. I consider being part of the secondment programme to the Pacific Islands Chiefs of Police Secretariat as a blessing, not only in terms of personally developing who I am and where I would want to be in the future within the Samoa Police Service. The Secretariat is an eye opening experience adapting to another work environment that is different from what I considered as norm back home. I am looking forward to the challenge. I would like to thank the Pacific islands Chiefs of Police (PICP) and the Samoa Police Service for the opportunity to come on secondment. Buenas yan Hafa Adai (Kia Ora). I am Harrilee Matsumoto, 12 year veteran Police Officer with the Guam Police Department (GPD) as well as a United States Army Reserve Soldier for the last 17 years. My background for most of my career has been as a Patrol Officer assigned to 3 out of 4 district precincts on Guam. Prior to being chosen to participate in the PICP Secretariat SPO program I was assigned to the Executive Security Section (ESS) which provides dignitary protection for the Governor, First Lady, Lieutenant Governor of Guam, and various visiting VIP’s. In 2011, before being assigned to the ESS, I was deployed with the U.S. military to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and remained on active duty until 2014. I have been fortunate to travel and live abroad in places like the Philippines, Palau, the United States, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, the Middle East, French Polynesia, several 3 | P a g e East and South East Asian countries, the Federated States of Micronesia, and now New Zealand and Australia. I developed a keen sensitivity to people from diverse cultural backgrounds experienced through my travels. I enjoy traveling and experiencing cultural immersion. Being able to work in New Zealand will prove to be an invaluable experience. To be chosen as a Seconded Pacific Officer is a wonderful blessing. The program has and will provide me with the favourable circumstances for not only personal growth but also professionally. I will have the opportunity to attend trainings and conferences which will provide me with the tools to implement new polices and/or amend old ones within my department. Some of the trainings will be challenging but I am confident that PICP Secretariats office will support me and ensure my success. Lastly, I would like to thank the Pacific islands Chiefs of Police (PICP) Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Guam Police Department for this rare opportunity. Executive Support Officer PICP-Secretariat: At the end of January 2017 PICP Executive Support Officer Carol Boyd retired from her role in the PICP Secretariat. This position has now been replaced by Kim Bloomfield. Kim maybe familiar to a number of you as she previously worked for the New Zealand Police as Support Officer to the Pacific Prevention Domestic Violence Programme (PPDVP). Kim joins PICP Secretariat with a wealth of experience having worked 31 years with the New Zealand police. She has worked in varied areas of the police, photography, Criminal Intelligence, Gang Intelligence in Auckland, Palmerston North and Drug Intelligence, Financial Intelligence, Threat Assessment Unit as an Intelligence analyst and as earlier stated just spent 11 years as Support Officer in Pacific Prevention Domestic Violence Programme, a PICP mandated programme. Kim said, “I am very much looking forward to a new challenge in PICP and still working alongside with the people in the Pacific”. Kim will become an important contact for many of you, especially those travelling for PICP WAN activities. She can be contacted on email [email protected] International Women’s Day- French Polynesia: On 8 March 2017 for International Women’s Day the National Police of French Polynesia were proud to see one of our colleagues, Detective Senior Sergeant Any Colombani invited as a special guest on local radio (Radio Polynesie l’ere).

  • Audrey Ann Fagan (1962–2007): the High Cost for Women Leaders in Policing
    Audrey Ann Fagan (1962–2007): The High Cost for Women Leaders in Policing Susan Harwood 1 and Helen McDermott 2 1Independent Researcher Member Australasian Council of Women and Policing, Director Susan Harwood and Associates, PO Box 103 Northbridge, WA 6865 [email protected] 2Vice-president Australasian Council of Women and Policing, PO Box 3994 Manuka, ACT 2603 [email protected] Abstract: The absence of women from leadership roles is still a feature of contemporary policing in Australia, and it appears that the presence of small numbers of women in some senior ranks has done little to significantly alter the ‘culture’. Audrey Fagan was the first woman to head the ACT Policing component of the Australian Federal Police and only the second woman in Australia or New Zealand to lead a policing jurisdiction. She had to manage many contested territories throughout her policing career; her untimely death at the pinnacle of her career leaves questions yet to be answered about the price women pay when choosing to work in densely masculinist workplaces such as policing. 1 This chapter provides an overview of the political, social and feminist antecedents to Australia’s policing organisations. We begin with a brief account of the first female chief commissioner in Australasia, Christine Nixon, before discussing the leadership of Fagan. Keywords: women leaders, women policing, masculinist workplaces, gendered practices Introduction The Australasian Council of Women and Policing (ACWAP) selected outstanding police leader Audrey Ann Fagan as the main subject for this chapter as a way of highlighting the significant challenges that aspiring women leaders still face in Australian policing organisations.
