Heliconia Congratulates T&T’s First Female Commissioner of Police on Historic Appointment
The Heliconia Foundation for Young Professionals is proud to extend its heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Erla Harewood-Christopher on her appointment as the first female Commissioner of Police in Trinidad and Tobago. This appointment is a significant milestone in the country's law enforcement and a clear demonstration of the progress being made towards gender equality and diversity in leadership positions.
Ms. Harewood-Christopher's appointment follows in the footsteps of other nations such as Australia, Canada, and the United States of America, who have also appointed female police commissioners, showing a growing trend towards diversity and inclusion in the police force.
As the newly appointed Commissioner of Police, Ms. Harewood-Christopher has a critical role to play in ensuring the safety and security of Trinidad and Tobago's citizens. The Heliconia Foundation has high expectations for her leadership, particularly in promoting community policing, reducing crime, and fostering a culture of accountability and transparency within the police force.
The Foundation salutes all parliamentarians who participated in making this historic appointment a reality. This is a testament to the important role that parliamentary cooperation can play in driving progress.
