Chief Superintendent Goretti Sheridan is one of few women to have achieved the rank of Chief Superintendent in An Garda Síochána.
One of few women to have achieved the rank of Chief Superintendent in An Garda Síochána, Chief Superintendent Goretti Sheridan says she is hopeful for the future of the national police force. “Female representation across the organisation is improving,” she tells me, adding that she is delighted to be in a position to help influence change.
In college and prior to joining An Garda Síochána, I studied computing to degree level in the Regional Technical College in Letterkenny and the University of Ulster in Derry. Once you are willing to learn and seek out advice and support in your career, you will go places. No one person knows everything, but building up a network of colleagues with expertise across the workplace will enhance your knowledge base and ability to perform. I also learned that you can truly have a positive impact on the people you interact with at work.
The best part of my day is talking to the Gardaí who are operating at the front line and who are literally keeping people safe. My work day ends at any time from 5-9pm depending on what work I have on. I’m not great at leaving the office on time. I need to get better at this – the long evenings are coming in and so these days should entice me out of the office on time.When I finish work I always clear my desk so that when I come back, I’m starting off on a clean space. I will always know in advance what meetings I have scheduled and be prepared for them in advance.
