SWAMPSCOTT — On Sunday, a new all-female patrol shift for the Swampscott Police Department officially hit the streets in a historic first for the precinct.

The new squad features Officers Angelica Noble, Briana Sanchez and Nicole Magee, as the department’s trailblazing new unit acts as the first of its kind.

All three officers began their career for Swampscott Police 11 months ago.

“When I started, I was only one of three female officers throughout the entire department,” recalled Sergeant Candace Doyle. “It’s really nice to finally bring a new generation of females onto the force.”

The precinct, founded back in 1882, has had several female officers among their ranks in the past, yet this marks the first time in the department’s history that a whole patrol shift is comprised entirely of female officers.

Regarding the unique level of importance that the new patrol shift had on the community, Doyle highlighted how it’s a step in the right direction for increasing diversity throughout the department’s ranks.

“These officers are a testament to the progress, resilience, and leadership that our profession and our community rightly deserve,” said Swampscott Police Chief Ruben Quesada. 

“Their presence on the streets not only enhances public safety but also inspires future generations to know there is no limit to what can be achieved,” Quesada continued.

“When you think of the people that will start to see more women policing their streets, it’s a really huge thing,” Doyle said. “It’s a new patrol shift, but it’s already had a big impact on the community.”

“I am grateful to be a part of history in the making,” said Officer Briana Sanchez. “I know I speak for the three of us when I say we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the community, and help make a difference to those in need.”
