Shannon has been with the VPD since 2003 working in Patrol, Traffic and the Missing Persons Unit. She is one of the first ten women to be a Motor Officer in the history of VPD. As one of the Founding members, Shannon played a key role in the creation and growth of BCWLE through the years as President and Treasurer. Since its inception, she has proudly seen the positive effect of the association that filled the gap for women in policing in this province. For Shannon, the importance of BCWLE can be summarized by one of her favourite sayings from Ryunosuke Satoro: Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
