A new Police Constable has revealed she joined the police service to be an 'inspiration' to her younger sister following the death of their mother. PC Chelsea Magill became her sibling’s legal guardian in 2020 after their mother died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
She said her mother was diagnosed with the condition following years of addiction. Having experienced a challenging upbringing, Chelsea decided to apply to become a police officer as she wants to help others and create a better life for herself and her sister.
“When I became my sister’s legal guardian, I wanted to be an inspiration to her and show her it is possible to pursue your dreams,” she said. "I want to be someone my sister can look up to. I want to show her nothing is impossible, no matter how hard it might be initially.”
