Winchester appoints first woman police officer Cheryl Harris
Cheryl L. Harris becomes Winchester Police Department Unit 22’s first female officer after joining on August 27. Harris trained as a military policewoman in the U.S. Army starting in January 1974, inspired by Leesburg patrolman Howard Willis whom she admired for his service and respect. Her father, a motel clerk, was robbed and beaten, an incident linked to Willis, now a bakery and catering entrepreneur.
