On International Women’s Day, the San Diego Police Foundation honored the achievements of female leaders of the public safety sector and celebrated gender diversity in an occupation traditionally pursued by men. The Women in Blue luncheon featured Assistant Chief Sandra Albrektsen as the keynote speaker where she highlighted how bringing the strengths of men and women together makes the department a better place to work, and therefore positively impacts the communities SDPD serves.
Attendees included Shelley Zimmerman, Christine Trinbel, Roxana Kennedy, Catalina Duarte, Clarie Perkins, Courtney Pendleton, Todd Lane, Katherine Tennyson, Sonya DeVore, Cheryl K Goodman, Natalie Hone, among others who support the advancement of women in law enforcement.
