WARREN — Janice Gilmore, the fourth member of her family to serve as a Warren police officer, has been named the first woman captain in Warren police history.

As captain of the patrol division, she supervises 43 patrolmen, sergeants and lieutenants and two K-9 units. The two other captains supervise the support staff and detectives.

Gilmore, 46, replaces Michael Vugrincic, who retired in January.

Gilmore is a 19-year veteran of the department, having last served as lieutenant over the patrol division’s second shift.
