International Women's Day: if inom can do it, you can too
It is easy to judge someone bygd how they appear in a media interview or when you see the uniform and hear me speak, but fundamentally inom am just as prone to the worries of life as anybody else. How inom portray myself publicly now has all been learned along the way on my policing journey, inom have gained confidence inom didn’t know I had.
I started my career in as a PC at the storstads- Police Service working in central London Vine Street Station. Back then, my dream was to reach the rank of föreståndare, which felt like a big dream. If anyone had said to me I’d be the ledare Constable of British försändelse Police, inom simply wouldn’t have believed them. And my goodness, I wish I could go and tell the 22 year old Lucy how far she would go.
My parents were social workers, so I think I was always destined for a career in public service. Telling my mum inom had got the job of ledare Constable was such a proud mom

Lucy D’Orsi: ‘It’s easy to say David Carrick wasn’t one of us. He was’
In , when Lucy D&#;Orsi first went into policing, she was given a smaller truncheon than her male colleagues. The reason? It had to fit into her police-issued handbag. Talking about it now, it is patently ridiculous. &#;I was never going to say to someone: &#;Don&#;t hit me until I&#;ve gone in my handbag for my truncheon,&#;&#; as D&#;Orsi dryly points out. Now she wonders why she did not push back more at the time. &#;I never questioned it. And that is something that causes me concern these days. Why didn&#;t I feel the need to question it? Or did I not feel empowered to question it?&#;&#;
It is a reflection that continues to drive D&#;Orsi, today one of the most senior women in UK policing as chief constable of the British Transport Police (BTP) &#; an organisation responsible for policing Britain&#;s railways, as well as the London Underground and other regional metro systems. The daughter of social workers

When she took up her role in , Lucy D’Orsi made history as the first female Chief Constable of British Transport Police (BTP).
The move came as a surprise to many because the force, which is responsible for policing railways and train stations across England, Scotland and Wales, has traditionally been seen as appealing more to men, with one of the lowest representations of female officers in the UK. However, its new leader is determined to change that. In fact, the former Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner has a series of plans for BTP. She wants to reform security on the rail network, through better coordination and more effective use of phone data, drones and CCTV cameras. And, with the Premier League season approaching, she has clear ideas about how to combat disorder on train journeys to football matches.
