INDIANAPOLIS — It takes bravery commitment and discipline to serve the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department."People forget how big empathy is in this job. Meeting them where they are. I always say that we meet people and probably the worst parts of their day, the most traumatizing parts of their day, when this is just maybe an hour of our day. So really, just taking the time to realize, okay, this person needs this in this moment.
"We need females in executive ranks and command ranks, because then you have some of the ability to be in on policy making decisions. So, it's so very important to get that feedback when you see female officers to find out are we doing things OK. That's a big part of my day. I try to make this the most positive work environment for the men and women that work on IMPD," said Deputy Chief of the Administration Division, Valerie Cunningham.
Commander Williams plays a vital role in IMPD's initiative to have women make up 30% of the force by 2030. "Well, it started very early with me, I come from a military family. My dad was a World War II vet. All three of my brothers served active service in the Korean War, and then Vietnam. I'm the youngest of my family.I have three brothers, no sisters, the one thing that my parents forbid was for me to go into the military. My mom had had enough waiting for and crossing her fingers that people came home from active combat.
"I've been doing this for 32 years. I have friends that are both law enforcement officers, I have friends that are not. I think that's very important. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I like to golf.
