@MPS_NoW An extraordinary milestone and a shining example of dedication to public service. 👏
Congratulations to PC Karen Giles on an incredible 50 years as a PC with the MET. A career defined by commitment, professionalism, and unwavering service to communities. #MBE#KingsPoliceMedal
Some difficult but also inspiring conversations were had in our panel talk.
Great to be joined by Cdr Katie Lilburn, Ria Miles, Insp Jen Sharpling, Alex Elkomaty, Cdr Messinger and DAC Adelekan who offered honest and personal insights & took Qs from the audience.

The NoW Exec were thrilled to recognise the contribution of PC Karen Giles, who celebrates 50 years service as a PC in July. No one prouder than our Officer Co Chair though!
This begins the journey of the new NoW Reward & Recognition Strategy we are excited to be implementing.
In the panel talk our officer Co Chair spoke about how in her opinion the greatest gift you can give is time. So we were really grateful to the Commissioner for giving his to come to our event and speak and hold a Q&A. The boss then stayed to chat with attendees.
#GiveToGain
“You should ask yourself, am I supporting other women, or am I raising myself up by putting other people down?”
Words to live by.
I love this absolute legend so much.
The most inspirational woman I know, my Mama, my hero 🖤
#InternationalWomensDay2026
Posts & pics will come in due course but for now, I am celebrating the incredible @MPS_NoW Exec Team for pulling together such an inspiring IWD event today. There really are some incredible women in @metpoliceuk & today we got to showcase them 💙

We welcome the appeal decision confirming Freemasonry as a declarable association in @metpoliceuk - a positive step for transparency. We now urge @MPFed to focus members’ subscriptions on advancing rights & standards for all & reflect on the benefits of this decision.
@ginnersinner@JJSharpers@metpoliceuk@MPFed We aren’t saying they should have been focused on something other than this, we are asking for there to be consideration of the other issues affecting paying sub members. This can be done at the same time.
@ginnersinner@JJSharpers@metpoliceuk@MPFed It’s not a dig or a suggestion this shouldn’t have been defended. It’s an ask that robust defence of rights is afforded to all.
Which at this time, is not the case.
The Exec Board are working really hard preparing for International Women’s Day celebrations at NSY. Loving this year’s theme of ‘Give to Gain’ 💜
Always remembering though, that it’s more than one day.
We want equity every day.
It was time to bring the Network of Women to social media. We will be updating on work we have done and will be doing and of course celebrating IWD in a few weeks 💜
