E9: "The Classmate, Partner, and Friend - all wrapped in one great human being!" - Interview with Sergeant Danielle Quinones. Danielle speaks about how to overcome obstacles as a female in Law Enforcement.

This is Episode 9 of @lets_grab_a_cup podcast. The Classmate, partner, and friend - all wrapped in one great human being!

One of my first partners, my classmate, and my friend Danielle Quinones, is a Sergeant in Southern California and today we sat down to discuss what brought her to policing and the world of law enforcement. As a college athlete, Danielle was always disciplined and in turn she is a great police officer. Danielle speaks about how as a female in Law Enforcement there are innate challenges that will be faced, and although she faced many of these challenges, Danielle continued to push through and develop a workstyle that matched her desire to succeed.

Danielle was able to develop a well-rounded career as a young police officer, spending time in special assignments, working her way up as a Field Training Officer and Recruit Training Officer, and ultimately promoting to Sergeant.

I appreciate Danielle sharing her story, about the challenges she faced as a young woman, throughout her college softball career, and ultimately through the police department. Danielle is a great leader and will continue to have great success in both her career and her personal life. Her dedication and determination is contagious and I hope each one of you get something out of this interview.
