Interested members of the public are invited to a Zoom presentation where Delta Police Deputy Chief Michelle Davey will speak to members of CFUW-South Delta.
The presentation is on Tuesday, April 26 at 7:15 p.m. Those wishing to join, are asked to contact Paula Gallagher at: [email protected].
Davey joined the Delta Police Department in February 2021, and is the DPD’s first female officer to be named to this rank. She is responsible for the Administration Bureau of the department and oversees recruiting, human resources, training, information technology, professional standards, finance, and department support services, including Victim Services.
Davey has completed extensive research into the real and perceived barriers that female officers experience in promotion to higher ranks and is passionate about addressing these challenges and paving the path for future female leadership. She was instrumental in the creation of the BC Women in Law Enforcement, a non-profit organization whose vision is to strengthen, unite and promote women in law enforcement.
CFUW-South Delta is a member of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW), a non-partisan, self-funded organization with more than 6,500 members in 96 clubs across Canada. They have been an active social group in South Delta for more than 50 years, effectively advocating on issues affecting women and children, as well as providing multiple bursaries annually to deserving local women.
