Monica Prieto is the only woman among four assistant chiefs in the Tucson Police Department and the first Latina in her role.
“Women think this job is extremely physical when in fact we already have the skills to do the job," Prieto said."A lot of it is just being empathetic, being an empathetic listener, being a problem solver and just having this passion for service.”
“Back in college when I was able to see women in this career that I could relate to, I decided why not just go for it," Prieto said."Next thing I know I have 23 years in the department.” “I’ve been here for ten minutes and I’ve seen women in their uniforms and its extremely motivating,” said Arlene Olguin, potential recruit.
“It’s really important to be able to see other people accomplishing their dreams, so that way you can reflect on yours and say okay I can do it as well,” said Michelle Perez, potential recruit.
