International Women’s Day is a day of unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action and is celebrated in countries around the world. This year's International Women’s Day (March 8th) may have come and gone, but we want to celebrate the women who work and volunteer with the Greater Sudbury Police Service all month long. Today and every day, we celebrate the strength they bring to our Service.

 

Meet Brianne Bradley, 911 Dispatcher: 911 dispatcher sitting and smiling

 

Q: What inspired you to become a 911 Dispatcher with the Greater Sudbury Police Service?

A: I became a dispatcher with GSPS because I truly wanted to help people in some way. I wanted a career that felt like it was making my community better. I grew up knowing a lot of police officers and fire department personnel in my home town, so one day I called the station to see if GSPS was hiring, and lo and behold they were! I haven’t looked back.

 

Q: What’s the best part about your job? Why do you love doing what you do?

A: That’s a tough one. This job is not for the faint of heart. If I could sum it up it is the most fulfilling, frustrating, exhilarating and exhausting job on the planet, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love working with my coworkers and I love speaking to the public and assisting them in any way I can. I love the fast pace and ever changing dynamics of each day. You truly never know what kind of shift you’ll have until you get there!

 

Q: What advice would you give to a girl or woman aspiring to join the policing profession/law enforcement field?

A: Do it! Don’t let anyone’s negativity get in your way. It has the potential to be the most fulfilling career you could experience.
