[quote=Anonymous]The Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department earned her Bachelor’s in Education from the University of Arkansas. She got a graduate certificate in criminal justice from UVA. She also graduated from the FBI National Academy.

Her first job was as a seasonal park ranger in New York. Then she was a social worker on Staten Island in the foster care system. From there she transitioned to the New York City Department of Probation where she worked with juveniles. Eventually she made the jump to corrections officer in Manhattan. Sixteen years and the four previously mentioned jobs after graduating from college she became an officer with the U.S. Park Police in the San Francisco office. At some point they transferred her to the NYC division where she became a K-9 handler in the explosives detection unit. She became the first female to lead the New York division as its Major. Next she made the jump to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia as a senior instructor for the driver training program. With the Park Police she eventually rose through the ranks to become the acting Chief in 2020. She was sworn in as the Chief in 2021 and retired in 2022.

She retired with a pension in her early 50’s. Think about that.

In May of 2022 she joined the MPD. In early 2023 she was promoted to Assistant Chief of Police. Before the end of 2023 she was sworn in as the Chief of Police.

Think about the path an English major from Arkansas followed. Now she commands 3200 officers and 600 civilian staffers. She makes $270,000 a year in her retirement job.[/quote]
