In this episode of Sirens, Slammers, and Service, we are joined by Kerri Shier, a Peace Officer with University of Alberta Protective Services (UAPS). Kerri shares her personal journey into the career after surviving a violent encounter, and how that experience fueled her passion for ensuring the safety and well-being of others on campus.
Kerri offers a detailed look into the complex and vital work that protective services does across the University of Alberta campuses, from handling security concerns to supporting students and staff in moments of crisis. She also talks about spearheading an inspiring initiative—bringing on Penny, a wellness animal who provides support for protective services staff, victims, and community members. Kerri discusses the tremendous impact Penny has had, offering emotional support, enhancing victim wellness, and strengthening community engagement.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about resilience, service, and the importance of mental health support within law enforcement and protective services.
