WPC Shawnee Alexandra Thompson is the first female officer to be internationally qualified as a bomb technician within the TTPS and the Caribbean. Thompson says it never once crossed her mind to pursue such a daunting feat.
However, she successfully navigated through a five-week programme at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police College and the Technical and Protective Operations Facility, Ottawa, Canada, where she scored 96.7% and 100% in two written assessments and passed all practical exams. During the course, she underwent different types and components of explosives and procedures to render them safe.
