Last, but not least, I want to thank my parents who raised me to be driven, strong-willed and compassionate. I may not have followed the path of a “traditional” woman, and they may not understand all that I do, but they have always stood behind me and been excited to share in my joys and successes.

Daily law enforcement officers are called in to intervene and manage situations that the general public are unable to solve. These situations can range from trivial in nature to affecting the arrest of violent individuals. These arrests can sometimes lead to physical confrontations resulting in all-out-knock-down-drag-‘em-out fights.

That being said, it is inevitable that officers will find themselves, at some point in their career, fighting on the ground. Over the past 20 years, the law enforcement community has seen the introduction of new and innovative intervention options, such as pepper spray, defensive batons, and conducted energy weapons (tasers) added to their duty belts. Moreover, the physical description of police officers has changed dramatically, from mostly physically large males, to a diverse workforce, which includes men and women of all shapes, sizes, and ages.
