I am the founder of the Lady Sheepdog Movement.
I have been in law enforcement since I was 20 years old.
(I actually turned 21 in a police car!)
I had to medically retire at a young age but I cannot stop serving so this is what I have created for you.
Being a cop is by far one of the coolest things I've ever done HOWEVER
it is FUCKING HARD. Especially as a woman...
I remember not having a CLUE about what the fuck I was doing while going through my first oral board...I made SO many mistakes!!
But I had support from a woman who was a Lieutenant. She worked out with me every week, prepped me on my oral board and helped me every step of the way... even when I failed.
I failed my first PT test...
I didn't pass one of the hiring processes I was in...
I made the mistake of NOT setting boundaries with the guys I worked with and ended up getting labeled very early in my career.
I had to ask so many questions on FTO, one of my FTO's complained to my Lieutenant's about it.
And the worst was that I had NO IDEA
how to FIT IN.
