Maryland Police Chief also leads international police organization
Gaithersburg, Md., Police Chief Mary Ann Viverette has distinguished herself as a leader who is respected for her innovative programs and her willingness to step outside her comfort zone. Today, she will be recognized as Woman Law Enforcement Executive of the Year by her peers at the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLEE) annual conference.
NAWLEE and Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) will honor Viverette during the group’s 11th annual conference and she will share her experiences and guidance gleaned through her 27 years with the police department located 12 miles outside of Washington, D.C. Motorola is hosting the conference.
“I am very grateful to be recognized by my peers, and happy to be able to make a contribution at the national level,’’ Viverette said.
The police chief of the second largest city in Maryland also currently serves as the first woman president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), an 18,000-member organization working on behalf of law enforcement officials worldwide. “I am glad that I am able to provide a visual reminder to other women that we are making contributions to law enforcement everywhere,” Viverette said. “Other women have told me how important it is to see me up there on the dais.’’ She estimated that there are only about 150 women police chiefs in the country.
It was Viverette’s involvement in IACP, along with other women in the 1990s, which planted the seeds of NAWLEE. Networking with other women at IACP events, they sought out further opportunities to share their knowledge. “As a mentoring organization, NAWLEE is a very comfortable place for a woman to be,’’ she said. Today NAWLEE has about 400 members, including law enforcement agency leaders and future leaders nationwide.
