Patrice Jennings, Parker School Class of 2016 and a graduate of George Mason University, received two awards at the 21st Law Enforcement Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C., on June 10. One was from the Metropolitan Police Department, where she is a civilian employed as an analyst in the department’s homicide branch. The other was the Deborah Ennis Professional Staff Member of the Year award from the Washington, D.C., Police Foundation, a supporting arm of the police department.
Jennings is the daughter of Della Jennings of Harvard and James Mitchell of Lancaster and the granddaughter of Pat Jennings of Harvard. In 2025, her work reviewing CCTV footage, analyzing GPS data, and mapping cell sites produced breakthrough leads, resulting in major case closures.
