DESPITE the nature of the job of a police officer, women have not shied away from the profession. In fact, of the many years of service, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) for the first time has appointed six women as divisional commanders.
They are: Senior Superintendent Millicent Sproul-Thomas, commander of the St Andrew Central division; Superintendent Oberlyn Smith, commander of Portland; Superintendent Jacqueline Green, commander of the St Andrew North division; Superintendent Vendolyn Cameron-Powell, commander for Manchester; Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay responsible for St Mary; and Superintendent Charmaine Shand, commander of the St Thomas division.
