Black History Month - Cst. Warren Sherman

In this episode of the True Blue Podcast, we chat with Cst. Warren Sherman a 13 year veteran of VicPD.  Warren was Jamaican born and raised before moving the Florida to finish high school and then attend Wake Forest University on an athletic scholarship.  Warren did some modelling and then acting in a Jamaican soap opera after graduating university.  He also worked in the private security industry in Jamaica.  Warren talks about wanting to be a police officer for much of his life but was hesitant to do so in his home country.  He eventually decided to move his family to Victoria and start a new life in policing at age 39.

Warren is currently working in the General Investigation Section as one of the Missing Persons coordinators.  He believes police work is a very important and rewarding career and certainly recommends that young people of colour consider the job if they’re interested. 

Royal Palm Estate – Andre Lawson played by Warren Sherman

Royal Palm Estate (along with its spin-off, The Blackburns) is the longest-running television series in Jamaican history, and possibly the Caribbean's. It was a staple in Jamaican homes on a Sunday night from 1994 until 2015.
