Women in Policing: Meet Cst. Sabrina Stalteri

Is it your calling to become a Police Officer? If so, we encourage you to consider applying to the Greater Sudbury Police Service.

If you'd like to learn more about a Policing career with the Greater Sudbury Police Service, our Women in Policing - Career Information Night will be held on October 26th, 2022.

Leading up to our Women in Policing event, we’d like to introduce you to some of the amazing women of our GSPS family. Meet Cst. Sabrina Stalteri: 

Q: What’s a typical day like in your role?

A: A typical day as a new officer on the road is complex and exciting at the same time. I am constantly learning and interacting with members of the community through a variety of calls for service. A typical day varies on call volume and paperwork. There is never a dull moment in the position of Constable and there is always more to learn and do.

Q: What inspired you to become a Police Officer? Why did you choose GSPS?

A: I was previously employed as a Special Constable with the Greater Sudbury Police Service as an initial step into law enforcement. Since I was a young girl, it was always my goal to become a Police Officer. It was a couple years ago that I began to actively pursue the career. I want to give back to my community and build partnerships with those around me while creating positive change and a safer Sudbury. I chose the Greater Sudbury Police Service because I really resonate with GSPS’ mission, vision and values.

Q: Why do you love doing what you do?

A: I love doing what I do because I get to interact and engage with members of the community in all forms of calls for service and events. Through community partnerships and interactions with community members, I am in a position to create positive change. A day in the life of a Police Officer is never the same and never predictable. It is a very flexible profession and there is always room for growth.

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

A: The advice I give to young women pursuing a career in law enforcement is always try. I live by the saying, “you never know unless you try”. I have always told myself, no matter the context, I would rather try and fail than not try and not know what could have been. Do not ever think, “I am not good enough,” “I am too small” or “I am too weak”. The person who demonstrates courage, honesty and hard work will be the person who has a successful career. Continue to prove those around you wrong and ask questions - no question is a bad question. If you want to make a difference around you, take the step to join the Greater Sudbury Police Service.
