NYWLE celebrated Women’s History Month on March 22, 2012 with a Wine and Cheese Reception at the Queens Museum of Art. President Diana Pizzuti welcomed more than 50 participants, including members Gertrude Schimmel and Lucille Burrascano. The 93-year-old NYPD Chief Schimmel was re-acquainted with fellow retirees and attendees from our West Point Conference, while introduced to a new generation of young officers and supervisors who realized their opportunities through her efforts.

The New York Women in Law Enforcement’s Second Annual Training Conference held November 2-4, 2011 at the historic Thayer Hotel located in West Point, New York was a grand success.  The conference was sold out and the participants were a diversified representation of the New York law enforcement community.  The conference evaluation forms completed by the attendees indicated that the speakers were a hit and everyone left having a great learning experience.  And it will be a long time before we forget the fantastic time we had getting to know each other and having some fun at the banquet.  The Board of Directors are in the beginning stages of planning the 2013 conference as well as developing other plans to make sure we achieve our organizational goals.  Check back soon and take a look at some of the photos from the conference.
