Sofia Lyons
“My name is Sofia Lyons and I will be entering my third year studying criminology at SFU. I have a special interest in policing and the importance of diversity in policing. Receiving this scholarship from BCWLE will help me achieve my goal of pursuing a career in law enforcement, as I have an interest in becoming a police officer one day. I hope I will be able to work for a municipal department in the future, such as Delta Police, as I have enjoyed the time I’ve volunteered for that department. It would be fulfilling to give back to the community and serve those who are in need. I support how BCWLE promotes and strengthens women in policing, and the organization has given me the inspiration to continue to follow my goal. I am honoured to receive this scholarship.”

Sophia Loewen
“My name is Sophia Loewen and I am a recipient of the 2023 BC Women in Law Enforcement scholarship. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and honour for this opportunity for mentorship and financial relief.
I am a third-year student at Simon Fraser University majoring in psychology and criminology, with a minor in policing studies. On weekends I volunteer at the Vancouver Police Department and have greatly enjoyed my time in the Crime Watch program.
I have sought a career in law enforcement from a young age and programs such as BCWLE provide women like me with support. I am incredibly grateful to those who saw my passion and potential.
As a full time student, a part time worker and a weekend volunteer, this scholarship will provide me with relief and the ability to delve deeper into my studies. Thank you BCWLE for aiding me towards my professional and education goals!”
