Police Week 2021: Sabrina Taylor

May 9-15, 2021 marks National Police Week. We thank our members for their continued service, sacrifice and commitment to community safety and well-being.

All week long, we'll introduce you to various members of the GSPS, both Sworn and Civilian. It takes an entire team to run this ship!

Meet Sabrina Taylor: 

Q: What is your name and the official name of your Unit?

A: Hello, I am Sabrina Taylor. I am a Data Entry Clerk/CPIC Operator in the Records Department.

Q: How long have you been working with the GSPS? And when did you commence the current position you have now?

A: I have been working with GSPS in the Records Department since July 2017.

Q: What is the mandate/function of your Unit?

A: Our function is to ensure the timely entry, maintenance, quality and confidentiality of data and information secured within the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system and the Records Management System (RMS). We help support the flow of information throughout the organization to support investigations, prosecutions, deployment of resources, reporting and data analytics.

Q: In two to three sentences, please describe a typical day in your role.

A: A typical shift consists of working 12-hour shifts, days and nights, weekends and statutory holidays. I complete a number of different duties such as transcribing a variety of different types of reports into our records management system, reviewing and entering Direct Entry Reports and answering multiple phone calls throughout the shift. I also add and remove Warrants, Release Documents and other entries to the CPIC system and send and receive CPIC messages to and from other Services across Ontario and Canada.

Q: What do you like most about your job? Why do you love working for the GSPS?

A: What I like the most about my job are the people I work with, not only within my unit but also within the entire service. I like that every report is different from the other and that there is always something to learn. I love learning how things work and how everything ties in together.
