In honor of Womens History Month: A salute to our sheroes

by L. A. Webb, Director of Police Services

March is Women’s History Month.  The Police Services/Public Safety Department would like to honor the six law enforcement sheroes on our staff. These hardworking, dedicated women definitely have our back!  They provide a variety of expertise with their years of service from military backgrounds and other police agencies:

  • Patrolwoman Mary Pickens has a special eye with her vast experience in special traffic investigations and DUI.
  • Patrolwoman Ursula Jones served as a police supervisor with many dedicated years of service with the Memphis Police Department. Her specialty is weapons and munitions.
  • Patrolwoman Katrina Cobb specializes in background investigations and crisis intervention.
  • Patrolwoman Cathy Smith believes in training and serves as a field training officer.
  • Patrolwoman Sharon Banton is a community liaison who specializes in crisis intervention

As Police Services director and a proud retired Memphis Police Department watch commander who devoted more than 33 years serving and protecting the citizens of Memphis, I am truly privileged to serve with these stellar women and appreciate their steadfast service to our law enforcement community and Southwest Tennessee Community College.
