Assistant Commissioner Crime and Operations Donna Adams could not be more deserving of the 2014 Telstra Tasmanian Business Woman of the Year award.
On behalf of the Tasmanian Government, I congratulate Ms Adams on the honour, the latest she has received in a distinguished career with Tasmania Police.
That Ms Adams also took home two category honours, the Community and Government and the Business Innovation awards, last night, is testament to her outstanding work.
With a career spanning 26 years thus far, Ms Adams is the most senior female officer in the history of Tasmania Police.
In my time as Police Minister, I have come to understand why Ms Adams is held in such high regard across the public service.
