Karen Harris stopped by the Morning Show to fill us in on the details regarding the upcoming 2nd Annual Bats and Badges with local first responders, as well as the annual Eat Out to Help Out Campaign!
I am the wife of Curtis Brooks and we have been married for 22 years. I have three children a son-in law and two beautiful grandchildren. I work at Danville Police Department I have been there for 23 years and 9 months. My current position is Youth Engagement Corporal.
Being a Police Officer is seen by all as a man’s job and because of this I have had in the past to prove that I was capable of doing the job as well as a man.
My children are my role models and I always want them to be proud of their mom so I work really hard on my job to make them proud to have a mom as a Police Officer.
I would say to other women seeking leadership position. Never give up. Pray often and go for it. I know that because of my faith I am doing a job I love.
I consider my most significant accomplishment to be planning and putting on Danville’s 1st Youth Police Academy.
