Saskatchewan Women in Policing: Stories of Strength, Service, and Sisterhood

In this powerful episode of Sirens, Slammers, and Service, we’re joined by four trailblazing women from across Saskatchewan’s policing landscape — each with unique roles, powerful stories, and a shared mission: to uplift and advance women in law enforcement through their work with Saskatchewan Women in Policing (SWIP).

Meet our guests: Whitney Beug – Detective Constable with Regina Police Service Hailey Erickson – Special Constable with Saskatoon Police Service Laura McGuire – RCMP Shift Supervisor from the Battleford Detachment Shannon Gordon – Sergeant with Regina Police Service

Together, these dedicated officers reflect on their personal journeys into policing — the triumphs, the tough calls, and what it means to wear the badge in different corners of the province. We explore how their day-to-day work varies across roles and jurisdictions, and how their involvement with SWIP has created a vital platform for mentorship, advocacy, and progress for women in the field.

 Highlights include:

• Candid reflections on overcoming challenges as women in uniform
• How SWIP builds community and confidence among female officers
• The importance of visibility, voice, and representation in policing leadership
• Personal stories of resilience, growth, and finding strength through service

This episode is a true celebration of unity, leadership, and purpose, and a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolving face of policing in Canada.
