  • Dr. Marlene Ellis served as a Police Officer in the Metropolitan Police Service joining in 1977 and retiring 12 years later, leaving at the rank of Sergeant.

    Marlene shares how her passion for sports and her foster father influenced her decision to become a Police Officer and how once in she became increasingly interested in policing and carving out a career. Marlene worked on the Central Drug Squad and Serious Organised Crime Squad.

    Dr. Ellis shares her lived experience of being a black woman in policing and her career journey within policing and post-retirement.

    As a result of the podcast series, Black Women in Policing , Marcia and Karen Geddes QPM started an organisation called Women In the Shade with a clear vision: to create an environment where the talents, unique experiences, and perspectives of Black women are not just acknowledged, but respected and valued. We refuse to accept the status quo where Black women in uniform services continue to face barriers and obstacles in their professional journeys.
