Our Story
In the Fall of 2020, Sgt. Lisa Simonson reached out and brought together 16 women police and executive leaders from across Saskatchewan’s policing community to determine if there was an appetite for such an organization in our Province. There was overwhelming support to develop an organization such as this and one that was long overdue. As a result, a group of eight women police leaders from across the province came together and founded SWIP: Lisa Simonson, Tonya Gresty, Andrea Vogel, Laurel Marshall, Kimberly Stewart, Marlie Frei, Melinda Mintenko and Danielle Stephany. This newly formed interim Board of Directors set out to register SWIP as a non-profit organization, create our mission, vision, bylaws, constitution and to market SWIP on a provincial and national stage.
SWIP would like to acknowledge the support and mentorship provided by our sister organizations, Alberta Women in Public Safety and British Columbia Women in Law Enforcement, in providing us guidance as we worked through developing our non-profit organization.
