Inspector Renee Sweetland - Sector Manager Aberdeen Town


With 18 years of police work experience, Inspector Renee Sweetland is the Aberdeen Manager of the Policing Forum Sector 1. Renee has a wealth of knowledge which she brings to the new committee elected on 17th February 2009. Renee did her basic police training in Bishop Lavis in 1991, and has also completed her training as a Sector Police Manager. As a senior police officer, Renee has the full cooperation of the Aberdeen Police to assist her with the Aberdeen S.P.F. requirements. Renee is married and has two young daughters.
In 2008 on her own initiative Inspector Sweetland started the C.P.F. a ‘Youth Forum’ representative of the whole of Aberdeen. Ten young adults from Grade 11 in the Aberdeen Secondary School were elected to this Forum. They were initiated into community work with the codes and morals attributed to Sector Policing, and were very involved and motivated. This Forum has been a great success, and a further group will be elected in April 2009, as the present C.P.F. Youth Forum prepares to study for the matriculation examinations.
This year is going to be a very exciting one, considering all the projects and ideas Renee has in the pipeline.
