About

I completed a B.A. in Sociology (Deans List). While working full time as an officer I completed a second degree – B. Ed in Adult Ed. in 2014. I also have extensive training in the curriculum and instructional design process. I began policing in 1998 as an Auxiliary member and thereafter was hired as a Special Constable. In 2000 I became a Constable with an urban Regional Service where I have served for 15 years. During my career, I completed assignments in the Detective Branch, Community Resources, Quality Assurance (policy writing and auditing) and culminating in the Training Branch. I held designations as a Breath Technician, Certified Police Auditor, Designated Criminal Investigator, Certified Use of Force Instructor, CEW Instructor & Immediate Rapid Deployment Instructor and a Certified Coach for the Constable Selection System. I performed as an Acting Sergeant and Coach Officer while on Patrol. I also served on the Joint Health & Safety Committee for many years as a designated member. One rewarding project involved teaching at the Ontario Police College and working on a committee for the OACP developing the current community policing model roll out training for recruits and serving officers. In 2010, I proudly became one of the only police officers ever to act solely as an Academic Trainer where my duties included curriculum development for today’s policing industry. I was solely responsible for developing and designing various “first” projects including a Supervisors Course and the University Special Constable Course (now offered province wide). My most rewarding project so far has been the complete re-design of my police agency’s Recruit Program into a hands-on, skills-based program which allows officers to hit the ground running faster than ever before. I am told my recruits stand apart academically while in attendance at the OPC! I am passionate about police education and am driven to help officers feel confident and competent in their role serving the community. Angela continues her coaching and teaching practices by facilitating part-time at a local Ontario College.
