Hello,
everyone
and
thank
you
all
for
joining
st
charles
county's
women's
history
month
virtual
celebration.
My
name
is
ashley
lincoln,
I'm
a
reporter
with
kmov
news
4.
and
first
we
want
to
appreciate
everyone's
time
for
joining
us.
We're
excited
for
our
audience
to
hear
these
amazing
stories
of
resilience
and
determination
of
some
of
the
women
who
work
with
the
saint
charles
county
police
department,
but
before
we
get
started,
we
want
to
give
you
guys
some
background
on
exactly
what
is
women's
history
history
month
women's
history
month.
B
It
has
its
origins
and
national
celebration
back
in
1981
when
congress
passed
a
resolution
to
recognize
just
one
week
in
march,
and
then
it
was
called
women's
history
week
throughout
several
years,
congress
finally
passed
a
resolution
in
1987
declaring
the
month
of
march
as
women's
history
month
this
month.
As
we
now
know,
it's
a
celebration
to
celebrate
women
who
have
made
strides
across
the
country
and
recognize
all
the
achievement
that
women
have
made
on
the
forefront
in
various
industries.
B
So
we're
excited
for
you
to
hear
the
stories
of
the
women
from
the
saint
charles
county
police
department.
I'm
also
going
to
give
you
some
background
on
the
department.
Within
itself,
the
saint
charles
county
police
department
was
started
in
2015.
The
department
is
the
largest
law
enforcement
agency
in
saint
charles
county.
Now
the
department
provides
a
range
of
police
and
public
services
to
more
than
300
000
residents
in
saint
charles
county.
B
B
B
We'll
begin
you're
going
to
hear
several
stories
from
the
phenomenal
women
within
the
department
on
how
they
got
to
the
positions
that
they're
in
now,
we'll
have
a
brief
intermission
and
then
again
we're
going
to
raffle
off
some
prizes
and
then
we'll
have
a
quick
q,
a
session
and
you're
going
to
hear
from
the
chief.
You
guys
can
ask
some
questions
about
what
it's
like
to
be
a
woman
in
law
enforcement,
but
we're
going
to
start
off
with
our
panelists
and
I'm
excited
for
you
guys
to
hear
their
stories.
B
B
Okay,
so
we're
gonna
skip
miss
jane.
I
think
she
don't
think
she's
back
yet
so
I'm
gonna
start
with
miss
casey
craft.
She
is
I'm
a
forensic
scientist
within
the
department,
and
that
is
a
very,
very
fun
and
exciting
field.
It's
a
little
different
when
people
think
about
police
work,
you
really
don't
think
about
what
does
the
forensic
scientist
actually
do
so
give
our
viewers
some
background
on
exactly
what
your
role
is
and
what
do
you
do
in
this
profession?.
C
C
C
Yeah
I
actually
took
a
class
my
freshman
year
of
college,
as
a
an
elective
I
had
heard
it
was
interesting
thought
it
would
be
something
that
would
be
fun
and
kind
of
break
up
my
norm,
but
it
was
definitely
something
that
changed.
My
choice
on
where
I
wanted
to
go
with
my
career.
I
was
a
psychology
major
at
the
time,
so
that
kind
of
shifted
everything
towards
the
science
side,
and
once
I
really
dove
into
my
courses,
I
really
became
enthralled
with
it.
C
B
Perfect
such
an
interesting
path
and
career
and
a
lot
of
females,
I'm
sure
after
hearing
your
story
will
be
interested
in
it,
especially
with
the
push
with
science
I'm
going
to
bring
up
miss
courtney
spice.
She
has
another
one
of
those
interesting
positions
within
the
department
working
with
a
a
nice
little
partner
furry
partner,
I
should
say:
is
he
in
there
with.
D
B
B
E
Yeah,
so
I
do
also
normal
patrol
duties.
I
handle
car
accidents
and
stuff
like
that,
but
say
there's
a
missing
kid
or
special
needs
individual
or
we
have
a
suspect
that
runs
from
a
scene,
tink
and
I'll
show
up
and
we'll
track
and
try
to
locate
those
individuals,
and
he
also
locates
narcotics
and
evidence
or
articles
that
are
either
lost
or
we
can't
find
on
a
scene.
They'll
come
and
sniff
them
out
and
show
us
where
they
are
so
I
went.
E
F
B
Yeah,
I
always
find
it
fascinating
as
a
reporter
we're
on
scenes.
We
see
you
guys
working
the
scenes
and
I
always
find
it
fascinating
when
the
canines
show
up
and
they
get
to
work.
Just
like
you
all
get
to
work.
How
much
training,
I
guess,
do
the
dogs
have
to
go
through
to
to
even
know
what
they're
doing
when
they're
they're
investigating
these
scenes
as
well.
E
So
he,
oh,
he
might
bark
hold
him.
So
he
since
he's
a
hound
dog,
he
started
his
training
fairly
at
a
fairly
young
age.
He
was
already
starting
to
try
to
track
people
down
for
practice
and
stuff
at
about
four
months
old,
which
is
pretty
young,
but
that's
when
he
started.
He
was
fully
certified
to
track
and
trail
and
find
people
at
nine
months
old.
E
So
it
took
you
know
anywhere
from
four
to
five
months
to
get
him
really
set
in
stone
and
then,
when
I
went
down
to
k9
school,
that
six
to
seven
weeks
was
really
for
me,
I
mean
he
was
already
mostly
trained,
but
it
was
for
me
to
learn.
You
know
how
to
read
him:
how
to
read
the
situation
and
stuff
like
that
and
for
us
to
bond
as
a
team,
because.
F
E
B
E
No
we're
lucky
enough
with
saint
charles
county
police
department.
We
have
me
and
one
other
handler
bridget
and
she
handles
a
yellow,
lab,
electronics,
sniffing
dog,
and
then
I
know
one
other
female
canine
handler
down
in
arnold
and
that's
the
only
three
us
three
are
the
only
ones
I
know
in
you
know
in
the
surrounding
st
louis
area.
So
it's
definitely
you
know,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
women
in
general
in
law
enforcement,
but
there's
even
less
in
canaan
like
in
canada,
wow.
B
Well,
good
information,
of
course
we're
going
to
let
you
all
know
how
to
apply
for
jobs
within
the
saint
charles
county
police
department.
So
if
you
want
to
be
a
k-9
handler
we'll
let
you
know
how
to
get
your
application
in
to
apply
so
we
appreciate
the
information.
I
think
we
have
miss
albright
back.
I
think
we're
good
to
bring
her
forward
there
we
go.
How
are
you
thank
you
so
much.
F
B
Beautiful
we're
going
to
bring
you
back
up
in
a
second,
because
I
want
all
the
ladies
to
eventually
talk
about
some
of
the
challenges
that
got
each
of
them
to
the
position
that
they're
in
now
I
have
two
more
ladies.
I
want
to
bring
up.
We
have
another
forensic
scientist
within
the
department,
miss
mahalia
michaela.
D
D
We
can
also
get
the
dna
from
a
suspect
if
there
is
one
and
we
can
then
compare
the
two
and
see
if
they
match
and
then
that
way
we
can
provide
this
information
to
detectives,
and
this
can
help
them
put
that
extra
puzzle
piece
in
their
case
together
and
can
help
them
solve
a
case.
So
that
is
what
I
am
doing
currently
and,
as
I
go
through
my
training
program.
I'll,
be
learning
more
and
more
about
the
dna
profiles
and
practicing
with
identification
of
different
body
fluids
such
as
blood
and
saliva.
D
Yes,
I've
actually
had
a
couple
younger
students
from
my
previous
universities
that
I've
attended,
find
me
on
social
media
or
through
professors
that
I've
had
and
they
contact
me
and
they
say:
hey
I'm
interested
in
forensic
science.
How
did
you
get
started
in
dna?
How
did
you
get
this
position
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
be
able
to
tell
them
how
I
came
to
have
this
position
and
all
my
hard
work
that
paid
off
to
to
have
the
position
I
have
now.
B
D
Yes,
I
would
definitely
encourage
them
to
get
as
much
experience
as
they
can.
Any
kind
of
internship
is
extremely
helpful
to
have
that
experience
and
be
able
to
learn
and
show
people
what
you
can
do,
and
it's
also
a
great
part
just
to
know
if
this
position
is
right
for
you,
it's
good
to
see
that
early
on,
if
you're,
indeed
going
on
the
right
path,
absolutely.
B
G
G
So
with
my
job,
I
have
to
pit
it
constantly
and
I'm
only
pivoting
to
make
sure
that
the
need
is
met
for
the
community
or
maybe
the
officer
that
I'm
assisting
it's
a
very
exciting
job.
I
get
to
make
dreams
come
true
and
you
don't
think
that
that's
common
in
a
police
department
but
you'll
be
amazed
at
some
of
the
work
that
we
do
to
make.
People
feel
good
about
being
a
community
member
and
a
part
of
the
community
of
st
charles
county.
B
Absolutely
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
important,
especially
I
feel
like
after
2020,
we
had
a
lot
of
protests.
We
had
a
lot
of
polarization
when
it
came
to
the
community
and
the
law
enforcement,
talk
about
the
need
for
this
role
to
help
bridge
that
gap
and
make
sure
that
education
is
going
both
ways.
G
Absolutely
you
know
that
was-
and
I
know
we're
going
to
get
into
this
a
little
later,
but
that's
actually
part
of
my
story
of
coming
to
the
police
department.
I
came
to
the
saint
charles
county
police
department
after
the
ferguson
unrest,
and
the
reason
why
I
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
the
police
department
was
because
I
understood
that
there
was
a
story
to
be
told
on
both
sides.
I
was
a
part
of
both
communities,
so
even
with
the
recent
protests,
because
I
am
a
community
member,
I'm
a
civilian.
G
B
Absolutely
and
I'm
going
to
keep
you
on,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
do
this
quick,
but
I
think
this
question
needs
to
be
answered
by
each
of
the
ladies,
especially
in
light
of
women's
history
month.
You
know
a
lot
of
we
see
a
lot
of
women
that
we
aspire
to
and
that
we
appreciate,
but
we
you
know
the
the
things
that
got
them.
There
really
helps
paint
a
picture
of
what
it
takes
to
overcome
certain
circumstances,
to
get
to
a
certain
goal
that
you
want
in
your
life.
B
G
You
know
I
can
go
back
to
as
far
as
college
undergrad.
At
that
time
you
know.
Unfortunately,
I
suffered
the
loss
of
my
father.
He
died
by
suicide,
so
even
at
that
time
you
know
I
was
19
years
old
and
I
had
to
make
the
decision.
Am
I
going
to
grieve
for
the
remainder
of
my
life,
or
am
I
going
to
accept
this
and
move
forward,
and
I
had
to
so.
I
chose
to
move
forward.
G
You
know
pressing
through
going
to
class,
even
when
I
didn't
feel
like
it.
Even
when
I
didn't
understand
what
was
going
on
in
my
life
I
pressed
through,
and
you
know.
Fortunately,
I
graduated
and
what's
also
very
interesting
about
my
story
when
when
I
was
younger,
I
had
a
learning
delay
in
which
I
had
to
go
to
what
was
then
the
rv
in
elementary
school,
so
that
I
can
learn
more
about
reading
comprehension,
because
I
didn't
quite
understand
the
things
that
I
was
reading
at
that
time.
G
So
you
know
that
was
something
else
that
I
also
had
to
work
through.
While
I
was
in
college-
and
I'm
very
proud
to
say
now
that
not
only
did
I
get
my
undergrad
degree,
I
also
have
two
masters
and
I'll
be
starting
a
doctoral
program
in
the
fall.
So
you
know
you
just
gotta
keep
pushing,
regardless
of
what
happens
to
you
in
life.
Keep
pushing
persevere
because
your
story
is
not
over.
B
F
2020
was
still
going
through
chemo
treatments
when
the
pandemic
first
came
into
st
charles
county,
so
it
was
a
busy
few
months
but,
as
val
said,
you
just
persevere
and
push
through
and
few.
You
know
I
finished
chemo
in
march,
and
so
this
is
my
one
year,
cancer-free
anniversary
this
month
and
but
in
august
you
know
everything
that
I
was
doing
paid
off
and
I
was
promoted
to
assistant
director.
Then.
B
D
D
B
Absolutely
you
can
put
your
mind
to
it.
You
can
do
it
and
casey
you
you're
from
indiana
indiana
correct.
Yes,
I
am
originally
yeah.
Taco
you've
talked
a
little
bit
when
we're
doing
the
meet
and
greet
a
little
bit
about
coming
to
st
louis
fresh
start.
No
family.
Here,
foreign
territory
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
challenges
you've
had
to
overcome.
C
C
E
So
I
spent
not
a
lot
of
people
notice,
but
I
spent
some
of
my
childhood
in
foster
care
and
it's
a
back
then
so
I
guess
how
long
ago,
20
years
ago,
when
I
was
a
young
pup,
it
was
less
than
one
person
of
all
foster
could
even
graduate
high
school
or
go
to
college,
so
I'm
kind
of
one
of
those
people
that
oh.
I
hear
something
like
that.
I'm
like
okay,
well
watch
me.
You.
E
E
Challenge
you
know
if
you
say
I
can't
do
something
watch
me
I'm
going
to.
I
always
I've
always
been
that
way.
I
don't
know
what
what
made
me
be
that
way,
but
as
soon
as
I
heard
that
that
percentage
of
the
foster
kids
not
going
graduating
high
school
or
even
going
to
college,
you
know
as
soon
as
I
heard
that
I
was
like
okay.
Well,
I'm
gonna
get
my
master's
degree
by
the
time
I'm
30.
F
E
E
F
E
B
C
C
We
just
kind
of
have
to
know
what
we
bring
to
the
table
and
we
have
to
know
what
we're
good
at
and
our
job
and
prove
it
and
let
our
actions
and
our
jobs
and
our
experience
and
everything
that
we
do
speak
for
itself.
So
I
think
that
finding
our
voice
having
having
a
good
say
in
this
field,
as
well
as
doing
our
jobs,
the
most
effective,
that
we
can
is
going
to
get
us
ahead
and
level
that
playing
field.
E
A
C
E
Is
knowing
when
to
when
we
need
help
our
assistants,
like
being
okay,
that
hey
you
know.
I
have
this
200
250
pound
person.
I
need
help
lifting
or
anything
not
you
know
not
hurting
myself
doing
it.
But
hey.
Can
you
come
help
me
just
being
accepting
of
of
others
help
not
they're,
not
saying?
Oh
it's.
You
can't
do
it.
It's
yeah.
I
know
what
I
ca.
I
am
and
am
not
capable
of
so
you
know.
E
G
I'd
like
to
also
add
be
authentic.
You
know,
regardless
of
who
you're
around,
always
be
your
authentic
self.
If
that
means
that
you're
silly,
that's
fine,
because
it
may
bring
a
light
error
to
the
the
department
you
know
just
always
be
true
to
who
you
are
and
never
be,
who
you
think
someone
wants
you
to
be.
B
That's
good,
perfect
anybody
else,
but
this
was
awesome.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
can
take
away
a
lot
from
each
individual
story
and
I
think,
if
anything,
every
single
one
of
you,
ladies,
have
showed
that
if
you
push
through
you
know
nothing
is
given
to
us
and
we
have
to
work
forward.
And
if
we
push
through
you
can
you
can
check
that
box
off?
You
can
make
that
goal
accomplished
and
I
think
the
people
tuning
in
tonight
are
definitely
going
to
receive
that
and
put
that
to
work
and
whatever
their
dreams
may
be.
B
So
I
think
we're
going
to
wrap
up
this
section
we're
slightly
over
our
time
and
then
I
think
we're
going
to
dive
into
our
intermission
right
now
for
about
brief,
short
intermission
and
then
we'll
be
back
you're
going
to
hear
from
our
chief
we're
gonna
have
raffles
we're
gonna
play
a
game
and
it's
gonna
be
good
fun.
So
we're
gonna
take
a
quick
break
for
two
minutes
and
then
we'll
be
right.
B
A
B
H
I
am
very
much
so,
and
I
want
to
thank
and
congratulate
each
and
every
one
of
the
panelists
that
is
participating.
Their
stories
are
great.
The
insight
into
their
positions
that
here
within
the
police
department
is
outstanding.
I
learned
a
lot
about
them.
I
learned
more
about
what
they
do,
even
as
a
chief
of
police.
I
don't
know
the
details
of
what
they
do.
I
know
in
general
what
they
do.
H
What
I
can
tell
you
is,
I
know,
day
in
and
day
out,
when
people
think
of
police
work,
they
think
about
the
uniform
officers
out
there.
They
don't
see
the
things
behind
the
scenes,
our
forensics
folks,
our
crime
scene,
investigators,
are
all
the
things
that
work
behind
the
scenes.
The
officers
on
the
road
can't
do
their
job
without
all
this
support,
so
we
have
some
incredible
women
on
this
police
department.
B
H
There
is,
I
think,
a
lot
of
people
think
about
law
enforcement
or
police
work.
They
think
about
that
uniformed
position
being
a
police
officer,
you
don't
have
to
be
a
police
officer,
so
we
have
our
commission
side,
which
are
sworn
police
officers.
Everybody
starts
on
the
road
they're
when
they
do
that
they're
in
uniform.
They
work
the
street
to
learn
the
job.
Then
we
have
detectives
and
within
the
detectives
we
have
crimes
against
persons.
We
have
crimes
against
property.
H
We
have
a
cyber
crime
unit
that
they
do
some
outstanding
work
with
child
pornography,
human
trafficking,
they're
combating
that
stuff.
Every
day
they
do
some
fantastic
work
and
then
on
our
the
other
side
of
the
house
on
our.
So
you
don't
have
to
be
a
police
officer
to
be
in
police
work,
our
forensics
folks
that
you,
you
heard
from
them
the
the
crime
scene,
investigators,
our
crime
scene,
investigators,
go
out
there
do
the
csi
work,
they're,
all
civilian
employees.
H
They
are
not
foreign
police
officers,
so
our
records
clerks
our
record
room,
dispatchers,
there's
a
lot
of
ways
to
get
into
law
enforcement
that
you
don't
have
to
be
a
police
officer.
Go
to
the
police
academy,
it
may
require
some
other
education
and
training,
but
there's
a
lot
of
avenues
to
get
involved
in
and
become
part
of
a
police
department.
H
Absolutely
and
that's
it's
crucial
to
the
function
of
any
and
every
police
department.
The
the
police
officers
can't
do
their
job
without
the
support
staff,
without
the
professional
staff
that,
whether
it's
the
records
room,
the
crime
scene,
investigators,
the
forensics
dispatchers,
you
know
they're
the
they're,
the
lifeline
event
for
any
police
officer.
So
these
roles
are
critical
and
crucial
to
us
that
are
sworn
on.
The
sworn
side
of
the
house.
B
H
Well,
we're
very
active
on
social
media,
so
anybody
interested
in
a
law
enforcement
career
any
position
within
the
police
department,
specifically
the
saint
charles
county
police
department,
watch
us
on
social
media
facebook,
twitter,
look
for
us
on
our
website.
We
always
post
physician
openings
on
our
on
our
department
website.
There's
a
lot
of
different
avenues.
If
you
think
you
might
be
interested
but
you're
not
sure
you
can
always
come.
H
Take
a
tour
and
we'll
give
you
to
the
station,
you
can
do
a
ride-along
without
officer
or
a
walk-through,
with
one
of
our.
If
you're
interested
in
being
in
the
crime
lab,
you
can
walk
through
the
crime
lab.
Take
a
tour.
If
you
have
a
genuine
interest,
there's
other
ways.
You
know
we
do
go
out
to
colleges
the
academies
to
recruit.
H
We
put
a
lot
of
flyers
out.
You
can
also
participate
in,
like
our
citizens
police
academy.
If
you're
not
sure
you
want
to
get
become
a
police
officer,
part
of
the
police
department,
you
can
go
through
our
assistance
police
academy,
which
we
have
fall
of
every
year.
It's
an
eight-week
or
12-week
program
touches
every
difficult
police
department.
You'll
learn
a
lot
about
every
aspect
of
the
police
department.
What
the
police
department
does
there's
community
outreach
events
that
we
always
look
for
volunteers
to
help
us
on.
We
just
had
a
fantastic
egg
hunt.
H
B
Absolutely
as
a
reporter,
we
work
closely
with
law
enforcement
on
certain
stories
and
one
thing
that
I
do
hear
from
police
that
are
out
there
on
the
street.
It
takes
a
lot
of
community
support
to
help
you
all
do
your
job,
especially
with
solving
some
of
these
crimes
and
scenes
that
you
all
are
on
talk
about
some
of
the
programs
or
initiatives
that
might
be
within
the
department
that
if
joe
schmoe
wanted
to
learn
more
about
the
police
department,
what
can
he
do?
What
can
he
be
a
part
of.
H
Well,
that's
a
great
point.
I
appreciate
you
pointing
that
out
because
we
live
in
a
in
saint
charles
county,
where
we,
as
police
officers,
enjoy
a
great
deal
of
community
support.
So
my
philosophy
for
all
of
our
employees
here
at
the
police
department
is,
we
owe
a
high
level
professional
service
in
return
and
the
more
cooperation
and
partnership
we
can
have
with
our
community
our
residents
the
easier
it
is
for
us
to
be
to
solve
crimes
resolve
issues.
H
H
Anybody
has
surveillance
cameras
around
their
house,
a
ring,
doorbell
or
other
home
security
systems.
They
can
register
that
with
us.
What
that
does
for
us.
We
can't
see
through
your
camera
system.
It
allows
our
detectives
or
investigators
to
see
that
there
was
crime
committed
here
and
there's
cameras
in
this
area,
and
we
can
send
you
a
message
say:
hey.
Could
you
check
your
camera
between
this
date
and
time,
so
you
can
help
us
solve
crimes
by
letting
us
know
if
you
have
some
footage
that
you
captured.
B
Perfect,
very,
very
good
information,
and,
if
the
folks
who
are
joining
us,
if
you
want
to
learn
more
about
these
programs,
we
have
all
that
information.
You
can
just
go
to
the
link,
that's
running
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
to
learn
more
about
recruitment,
to
learn
more
about
what
you
can
do
to
be
an
active
and
engaging
citizen
to
help
the
police
department.
So
we're
going
to
continue
with
the
program
and
the
chief.
I
I
hear
you
got
us
a
prize
game
that

So
thank
you
so
much
chief.
We
really
appreciate
you
for
stepping

B
I
think
the
public
appreciates
it
too,
to
learn
more
about
the
department
and
again,
if
you
want
to
join
to
be
a
part
of
the
saint
charles
county
police
department,
or
if
you
just
want
to
learn
more
about
what
our
law
enforcement
do.
We
have
all
of
that
information
scrolling
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
to
learn
more
about
the
department.
So,
thanks
again,
chief.
B
B
G
Well,
I
can
speak
to
that,
so
something
that
a
lot
of
people
may
not
know
about
me
is
a
few
years
ago
I
had
an
unfortunate
medical
event
and
I
developed
a
condition
that
caused
me
to
build
fluid
on
my
brain
and
as
a
result
of
the
fluid
building
on
my
brain,
my
optical
nerves.
They
swallowed
and
I
lost
vision,
peripheral
vision
in
both
eyes.
G
So,
yes,
we
do
have
some
people
with
disabilities
here
now.
How
do
I
work
around
that
again,
simply
just
being
my
authentic
self
there's,
not
anything
that
I'm
gonna?
Let
stop
me
aside
from
working
here
at
the
police
department.
I
do
a
lot
of
volunteer
work
in
the
community
and
then
I
also
have
a
daughter
that
I'm
raised
in
so
I
couldn't
stop.
If
I
wanted
to
actually
when
I
was
sick,
I
tried
to
get
put
on
disability
and
my
doctor
even
allowed
me.
B
Beautiful
the
next
question
we
got
is
what
is
the
biggest
challenge
that
women
face
today,
and
I
guess
this
question
they
didn't
specify.
If
it's
in
law
enforcement
or
personal
life,
I
guess
we
can
personalize
it
to
each
individual
person.
But
I
guess
what
is
your
biggest
challenge
that
you
face
today
outside
of
the
pandemic.
F
I
think
it's
balancing
home
and
work
life,
you
know
as
a
mother,
I
have
four
children
and
work
full-time
and
this
job
sometimes
has
odd
hours
long
hours,
so
definitely
balancing
home
life,
children,
household
chores
and
work.
But
luckily
I
am
blessed
with,
I
think,
the
world's
best
husband-
and
you
know
we
both
work
full
time.
We
both
also
help
and
and
do
things
around
the
house
and
and
transporting
kids,
all
over
town,
so
yeah.
B
D
I
can
take
it
as
well
perfect,
so
a
challenge
that
I
actually
had
and
overcame
is
when
I
was
in
graduate
school
when
I
was
going
for
my
master's,
I
was
also
working
full-time
at
a
genetics
lab
at
washu.
I
was
doing
research
there
and
it
was
very
demanding
and
very
competitive.
It
was
very
long
hours
with
working
and
then
going
to
school
right
afterwards.
D
So
it
was
definitely
hard
to
balance
everything
and
to
really
even
have
any
free
time,
because
it
seemed
like
on
weekends.
I
would
study
or
read
a
paper
and
do
homework,
and
everything
was
just
so
focused
on
school
and
on
science
and
that
paid
off,
because
I
believe
that
those
skills
that
I
gained
there
and
that
knowledge
of
dna
is
what
allowed
me
to
get
this
position
that
I
currently
have
now
and
that
I
feel
so
fortunate
to
have.
E
E
I
want
to
kind
of
do
that
that
you
know
that
seems
really
interesting
and
I
think
I
was
like
eight
or
nine
years
old
and
ever
since
then
I
just
I
started
looking
up.
You
know:
law
enforcement,
canine
stuff,
and
even
I
nine
or
eleven
years
old
there
was.
I
drew
a
picture
and
it's
me
and
a
dog
next
to
me
because
that's
what
I've
wanted
to
do
since
I
was
not
as
9
or
11.
E
I
can't
remember,
but
it's
just
something
that
I
saw
that
it
clicked
in
my
mind
like
I
want
to
do
that,
and
I
want
any
kids
that
do
experience
law
enforcement
on
maybe
not
the
best
day
or
best
time,
because
that's
usually,
when
we're
involved
to
see
that
you
know
I'm
a
goofball.
So
I
try
to
be
myself
on
the
street.
E
You
know
if
I
need
to
be
serious,
I
become
serious
when
I
need
to
be,
but
if
I
have
a
time
to
joke
or
talk
to
these
kids
and
show
them
how
goofy
tank
can
be
or
how
goofy
I
am.
You
know
I
and
just
let
them
know
like
yeah
we're
here
to
do
a
job,
but
we
are
also
humans
and
I'll
go
back.
You
know
a
week
or
two
later
and
check
on
those
kids.
Even
when
it's
not
you
know
there
for
those
the.
E
B
E
D
Can
jump
in
as
well
to
add
to
that.
So
when
I
was
doing
research,
I
learned
that
doing
research
really
takes
many
years
to
find
a
discovery.
It
can
take
10
years
or
more,
and
I
felt
like
I
wasn't
really
making
an
impact
so
going
into
forensic
science
and
using
my
dna
skills
here
every
case
that
I
work
every
case
that
I
can
help
a
detective
solve.
I
feel
like
I'm,
making
a
direct
impact
to
give
answers
for
those
victims
to
help
solve
cases.
C
C
D
Some
of
the
most
interesting
ones
that
I
worked
with
recently
was
a
chicken
bone
from
a
chicken
wing.
So
there's
always
those
kinds
of
surprising
ones.
You
know
I've
gotten
dna
evidence
off
of
a
shoe
before
so
just
being
able
to
work
on
many
different
items
and
always
having
every
case
be
different,
makes
this
position
highly
exciting
and
always
very
interesting
to
to
be
a
part
of.
E
E
So
I
am
constantly
looking
online
or
in
magazines
for
classes
on
tracking
their
behavior
and
tracking,
just
how
they
perceive
go
through
the
world,
because
one
thing
I
didn't
know
until
I
took
this
class
was
that
people
a
lot
of
people
on
the
spectrum
tend
to
gravitate
towards
water,
creeks,
ponds
and
stuff
like
that,
and
so
you
know
sometimes
when
I'm
tracking
and
we
go
towards
a
lake
or
a
pond-
I
never
you
know
I
never
thought
about.
Oh
you
know,
tank
doesn't
just
want
to
go
swimming.
E
E
How
far
certain
people
on
the
spectrum
or
dementia
alzheimer's
patient,
how
far
they
usually
wander,
there's
studies
out
there
that
show
that
they
only
go
a
certain
amount
away
from
their
home
or
from
where
they
were
last
seen
or
try
to
get
back
to
where
they
used
to
live
and
stuff
like
that.
So
you
know
I've
taken.
E
You
know
a
lot
of
seminars
and
conferences
and
stuff
like
that,
as
well
as
being
cit
trained
crisis
intervention
team
train
for
people
going
through
mental
health
crisis,
where
it
was
a
week-long,
I
would
say
over
40
hour,
training
plus
there's
other
ones
out
there
for
cit
for
veterans
cit
for
children.
Week-Long
courses
that
we
are
all
most
police
officers
are
trained
are
sent
to
go
to
so
we
are
trained.
You
know
how
to
handle
those
situations
properly
when
needed,
perfect.
G
And
if,
if
I
can
add
in
addition
to
the
training
that
the
officers
receive,
we
also
have
other
supportive
services
for
families.
So,
for
example,
we
have
emergency
alert
stickers
that
are
available
and
you
can
find
those
on
our
website
and
print
them
off
at
home,
but
that
helps
officers
to
know
when
they,
let's
say,
come
to
a
home.
If
there
is
an
individual
with
special
needs
diabetes,
you
know
someone
who
is
una
who's
deaf.
G
You
know
that
basically
helps
them
and
prepare
them
for
whatever
situation
that
they're
going
into
and
then
the
chief
he
mentioned
earlier.
Our
care
check
track
program.
That's
especially
important
for
people
who
wander
from
home
and
I
think
officer
speaks
if
I'm
correct
it
wasn't
care
track,
but
tank's
first
safe
was
a
young
person
with
autism.
Am
I
correct.
E
Correct
yep
you're
back
from
canine
school,
less
than
24
hours,
and
we
got
a
call
and
there
were
probably
10
to
15
officers
on
foot
looking
for
this
child
and
it
took
tank
all
of
two
minutes:
sniffed
a
toy
or
a
sock
of
this
child
and
within
two
minutes
he
located
them.
So
it
was
pretty
impressive.
That's
fascinating!.
B
C
Science
is
a
huge
deal
in
so
many
different
fields,
so
making
sure
that
they're
actively
using
their
brains
to
try
and
figure
out
these
problem
solving
type
fields
is
a
huge
deal,
giving
them
that
access
as
much
as
the
guys
making
sure
that
they
have
everything
at
their
disposal
to
decide.
What
they
want
to
do
is
going
to
be
a
key
part
in
making
sure
that
women
are
going
to
be
in
all
of
these
careers.
E
Yep,
I
agree,
I
would
say
too
just
keep
going.
You're
going
to
be
told
you
could
be
told,
no,
no
matter
what
you
do
in
your
life
just
keep
pushing
through,
because
if
it's,
what
you
want
to
do,
nothing
should
stop
you.
You
know
if
you,
if
you
put
your
mind
to
it
and
you're
capable
and
you're
putting
your
100
percent
effort
into
it.
I
just
I
remember
my
last
day
in
the
police
academy,
I
was
told
you're
never
going
to
mount
anything
in
the
police
world
you're
a
tiny
female.
E
All
right.
You
know,
and
I
was
like
let's
go
then
bring
it
and
that's
just
my
that's
my
attitude
towards
it.
Like
you,
you
say
I
can't
do
something
I,
for
whatever
reason,
I'm
just
really
bullheaded.
You
know
I'm
stubborn,
so
they
say,
keep
going
and
keep
pushing
forward
through
it.
Even
if
you
get
a
setback
or
you
get
told,
no
just
keep
keep
pushing.
G
All
of
those
things
have
been
successful,
not
only
because
of
the
community,
but
because
of
those
different
relationships
that
I've
had
with
organizations
and
individuals
in
the
community.
Where
I
can
call
and
say
hey,
I
need
you
to
do
this
for
the
saint
charles
county
police
department,
and
they
do
it
without
hesitation.
We
have
a
great
community
that
supports
us.
F
B
Absolutely
that's
100.
A
final
question.
I
guess
that
we
can
ask,
has
impacted
everybody
in
every
industry.
This
question
was:
what
have
you
learned
coming
out
and
dealing
with
this
pandemic
and
how
has
that
shifted?
How
you
operate?
I
know
like
for
us.
Obviously
we're
doing
this
forum
virtually
and
a
lot
of
people
are
working
from
home.
B
E
Yeah,
so
I
had
to
think
about
a
lot
too.
My
some
family
members
are
battling
cancer
as
well.
So
not
only
do
I
have
to
think
about
myself
when
I'm
going
into
a
stranger's
house
or
dealing
with
strangers,
but
when
you
know
in
12
hours
when
I
get
off
work
and
I
go
have
dinner
with
it,
you
know
I
have
to
think
about
who
am
I
coming
into
contact
after
I
get
off
work
so
for
even
when
it
was
cold
out,
I
would
try
as
best
as
possible.
E
Hey
can
you
have
the
call
taker
or
the
person
come
outside?
Can
we
can
we
take
it
outside
or
can
you
know
we'll
stand
far
apart?
I
always
have
a
mask
attached
to
my
duty
belt.
Now
I
try
to
do
I
try
to
make
that
hap.
You
know
the
outside
as
much
as
possible.
Obviously
weather
related
stuff
like
that
you
can
or
if
they
can't,
they
can't
get
up
and
come
to
me,
but
I
always
we
still
now
still
maintain
that
distance.
E
C
C
So
we
had
to
adjust
making
sure
that
we're
having
our
own
spaces
to
work,
making
sure
that
we
all
have
masks
obviously
social
distancing,
but
we
do
also
interact
with
the
public.
The
public
can
come
in
and
handle
anything
that
they
need
to
associate
with
the
police
department,
so
we
have
contact
with
them.
D
Yes,
I
have
something
I'd
like
to
add
so
going
off
of
what
cassie's
saying
I
definitely
saw
a
change
in
my
personal
life
from
just
going
through
the
pandemic
and
also
coming
into
work.
I
really
started
being
careful
what
I
was
doing
outside
of
work,
because
I
know
that
I
could
bring
it
into
work
if
I
get
sick
out
from
outside
of
work.
D
So
I
wanted
to
be
very
mindful
that
I
work
with
others
and
there's
people
that
I
work
with
that
may
have
health
conditions
that
I'm
lucky
not
to
have
so
I
want
to
care
about
them
and
think
about
their
health
and
just
know
that
we're
such
a
small,
close-knit
team
that
I
wouldn't
want
anything
to
happen
to
any
of
us
and
just
to
keep
that
in
mind
and
to
really
do
my
due
diligence
outside
of
work
to
help
keep
everyone
at
work.
Safe.
F
F
You
know
we
should
all
have
not
saying
go
out
and
stockpile
all
of
it,
but
we
should
all
have
enough
supplies
to
live
to
live
independently
of
any
sort
of
government
help
for
at
least
three
days.
I
mean
that
could
be
anything
from
an
ice
storm,
preventing
you
from
getting
out
to
the
grocery
store,
a
water
main
break.
G
B
Awesome
well,
this
was
a
great
ladies.
I
think
we're
slightly
over
our
time,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
it
was
an
honor
hearing.
Your
story
sharing
your
stories.
I
think
a
lot
can
be
learned
from
it.
We
don't
take
lightly
what
you
all
do
for
our
community
each
and
every
day
I
am
my
dad-
is
30
years
law
enforcement
out
of
atlanta,
so
I've
seen
firsthand
what
it's
like
to
grow
up
in
that
world
and
the
sacrifice
that
you
all
make
to
keep
our
community
safe.
B
So
we
do
appreciate
the
work
that
you
all
do,
and
I
just
want
to
salute
the
salute
you
all
that,
and
it
was
great
to
honor
you
all
during
our
women's
history
month.
