The Williamstown Police Station has a new and experienced senior sergeant who is excited to begin her work in a new location.
Senior Sergeant Jennifer Booth has been a member of Victoria Police since 2000, predominantly working in the north-west metro division.
Senior Sergeant Booth has worked at several police stations, as well as several forces including the drug task force and homicide squad.
Being a detective, her passion lies in investigations.
“Working as a detective for a long time was one of the most rewarding parts of my career,” she said.
“When I came back to uniform, it was a change and it was something different, it exposed me to being a supervisor and training.
“Having the ability to influence younger people in the job and help them develop their careers and guide them to where their interests lie was one of the most rewarding parts, I thrived.”
Senior Sergeant Booth said working in different areas of the state has made her think differently and reinvigorate her career, keeping her from getting stuck in a rut.
Senior Sergeant Booth said she is enjoying her her new role so far.
“I am working with some very experienced members who are helping and guiding me along the way,” she said.
“I look forward to tapping into my experience to build the team environment at Williamstown.”
Senior Sergeant Booth said Victoria Police’s big focus at the moment is tapping back into the community.
“I am also just getting to know the Williamstown community as I’m new to this area,” she said. “I am getting involved in traders associations and getting to know the community.”
“That is my focus, getting to know our community groups and getting to know the integral part of Williamstown.”
