After an exhilarating evening of competition, Miss Tresan Sharpe of the Royal British Virgin Islands Police Force was crowned the winner of the True Blue Beauty Pageant 2024. Her poise, charisma, and advocacy for community engagement earned her the title, marking a significant moment for both her and the CFPWA. Miss Shania Samuel of the Royal Antigua and Barbuda Police Force was first runner up, and Miss Nickesha Lewis of the Guyana Police Force was second runner up.
“Tonight, we celebrated not only beauty but the true essence of a policewoman; the talent, brilliance, and dedication of our police officers from around the region is most admirable, and Miss True Blue Beauty Pageant provides our female officers with another avenue to help them showcase their talent and intellectual capabilities whilst advocating for changes to improving the lives of police officers across the region,” said David Barnett, General Secretary of the CFPWA.
