Experienced Officer Transition to VicPD - Dyanne Parker

Joel Durling hosts another really good episode of the True Blue Podcast. In this episode, you get a chance to meet Sergeant Dyanne Parker who previously served with the Toronto Police Service (TPS).

Sergeant Parker completed 13 years with TPS before applying to VicPD a little over 2 years ago. Dyanne shares some stories of what working in Toronto was like as a police officer - lots of gangsters to chase! She has an identical twin sister, she is a mother of 2, enjoys playing Pickleball and loves living near the ocean.

VicPD's recruiting push in Ontario a few years ago has paid off nicely by finding Dyanne. Her experiences in Toronto are a huge asset to VicPD and now that she's promoted to Sergeant, she will continue to pass along her vast experience to junior officers at VicPD.

Enjoy the episode.
