Stephanie Shannon was the recipient of this year’s
Trail Blazer award which is presented annually to a woman
working in law enforcement (sworn or professional) who
has made outstanding contributions to her profession and/
or professional organization. A secondary consideration
is her contribution to the California community as a
volunteer. The community service may be in any sector
(human services, the arts, civic, political) but must be as a
volunteer and not as an employee or elected official.
The Women Leaders in Law Enforcement Training
Symposium would not be possible if not for our generous
sponsors; American Military University, U.S. Armor,
Target, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, SF Police Credit Union,
St. Mary’s College, Jones & Mayer, Cambridge Financial,
Artemis Defense Institute, Bay Area Law Enforcement
Assistance Fund, CNOA, Bob Murray & Associates, Bay
Area Rapid Transit Police, Sun Ridge, San Jose PD, LA
County Police Chiefs Association and National Tactical
Officers Association.
The Citrus Heights Police Department hosted this
year’s event and planning for the 11h Annual Women
Leaders in Law Enforcement Training Symposium is
already underway! We hope you will join us in San Diego
November 2-4, 2016 when we are hosted by the WLLE San
Diego Chapter. ■
