Rising through the ranks via a rigorous selection process overseen by the Protective Services Commission and approved by the President, Boyce brings an impressive record: leading high-profile murder investigations to conviction, extensive international training from Canada to the UK, and a degree in Political Science with Law. Recognized with national honors including the Barbados Services Medal of Honour and the Humanitarian Award, she’s also served in global policing forums and led the Police Alliance Toastmasters Club. The government sees her as the ideal leader to ensure continuity and strong, forward-looking policing in Barbados. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
