TERESA LASHMET, the first woman officer in Miami is an all rounder !

THIRTY years on and Teresa Lashmet’s leadership in the MIAMI police department has made the neighborhood safer. Her family is steeped in law enforcement and that is where her roots and inspiration comes from.
Her uncle and cousin were in the Missouri Highway Patrol.  It is through their encouragement that she honed her skills and became the first female in the law enforcement in the family also. Also, she is the first woman MIAMI police officer.
Her achievements are completing the Missouri Police Academy in 2010 and also going through 16 weeks of CLEET (Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training.)

HOW DID SHE do this!
She applied everywhere in Missouri and heard about the job. She also applied to Aurora, Vernon County, Carl Junction, and so many other places. And all along guys were hired! But, there were two positions open in the Miami Police. She gave the test and she excelled and was the most qualified officer. And she was asked to join immediately!
Even the Miami police were happy about the new officer and they say “The standard now is that the make-up of a police department should reflect the diversity of the community in which you police and so, having a female on the police department just increases our diversity in terms of policing Miami. We’ve had one female officer in the past Janella Spurlock and Officer Lashmet is only the second female hired since 1910. We’re looking forward to having her in the police department,” they told the MIAMIOK.com.

Officer Lashmet, the first woman MIAMI police officer also believes that the nature of the job does not affect her as God supports her. This is not only inspiring for people in the US but around the world. Officer Lashmet is also a trained water-aerobics trainer. Quite an all-rounder!
Her dreams have been supported by her family. Officer Lashmet says “They backed me and backed me, when I went to the Missouri Police Academy, then when I got the job at Buffalo Run, and then again through CLEET here for 16 weeks. My Mom has pitched in too, she’s done a lot for me. If the kids needed rides or had doctor’s appointments while I was at CLEET, she’s done that for me.”
A strong family base makes a strong officer. Teresa Lashmet is an all-rounder!
