Last November, the New Brunswick RCMP partnered with the Fredericton Police Force and the Department of Justice and Public Safety to host the 30th annual Atlantic Women in Law Enforcement (AWLE) Conference in Fredericton, N.B.
The AWLE Conference aims to support, encourage, and inspire women in law enforcement in Atlantic Canada with a focus on training and development, networking, and partnerships. This year, we achieved this by bringing together a number of inspiring and dedicated individuals who share a common goal: to advance and empower women in law enforcement.
This year, not only did we celebrate three decades of the AWLE conference, but we also celebrated 50 years since Troop 17 became the first group of women to take the oath to become regular members of the RCMP. Today, women are an integral part of our workforce; 18.3 percent of New Brunswick RCMP officers are female, with more and more women in leadership roles.
To all who have helped pave the way for women in this profession, we thank you for your dedication, your passion, and your commitment to making a difference in our communities. We look forward to another 30 years of collaboration, empowerment, and success.
