It is National Women in Law Enforcement Day and the Sheriff's Office has some very amazing women who work in all divisions of the Sheriff's Office

Not every female officer is included here - some have been shy about getting their pictures taken (they will be done soon) but pictured or not we have some of the best female law enforcement professionals around!!!
