Since then, she has worked in both uniform and investigative divisions, the police force noted in a statement.
“Most recently, she led the Regina Police Service Investigative Services Division (ISD), which includes the Regina Integrated Intelligence Unit, Major Crimes and Vulnerable Persons, and the Drugs, Gangs & Firearms Sections,” said the Regina Police Service.
“I’m excited to take on this role and for my duties. It’s another way of being able to support the chief and our headquarters and our organization and translating that vision into action,” said Marshall in an interview with 980 CJME.
She’s looking forward to “engaging with public stakeholders, community partners and keeping your finger on the pulse within the organization on people’s needs and what we need to do make our city safe.”
Marshall says she’s looking forward to working under Police Chief Lorilee Davies.
“It is kind of exciting. It’s a dream you never think would happen, but when you see the path paved by other women, it’s very encouraging and inspiring,” she said.
According to the police statement, Marshall has also served in the community services and support services divisions, along with the headquarters unit. Marshall has taught defensive tactics, firearms, and provided training to recruits as “they transitioned from police college to the patrol car.”
“Her past experience on the RPS Critical Incident Stress Management Team (CISM) and Peer Support Team continues to fuel her commitment to support the health and wellness of RPS employees,” added the police force.
When she first joined the police force, she focused on patrol and responding to 9-1-1 calls.
As she took on different jobs, she said she got different perspectives, gained knowledge and grew.
“You want to build it to the next level and see how you can help other people have progressed that way too. You take those experiences and you realize you have something to offer in a different capacity,” she said.
She helped found the Saskatchewan Women in Policing board of directors, and now sits on the advisory board as a member.
The police force said Marshall is an active volunteer, coaching hockey and working with KidSport Regina and the Sports Hall of Fame. She also volunteers as one of the lieutenant governor’s aides-de-damp.
Her education background includes a bachelor of arts degree in English from the University of Regina.
“She is a detail-oriented, people-first leader who will contribute greatly to the work of the Regina Police Service. She is honoured to serve the citizens of her hometown,” the police force added.
