“Striving to do the best possible,” said Messinger.“Right now I am currently the only active female on our roster,” said Messinger.She’s done just that, making “her-story” as the department’s first female sergeant.
“I am in a profession where my daughter can grow up and she can see me as a positive role model,” said Messinger.“I would be lying if I said that didn’t have to face certain obstacles in the past at other departments and other agencies,” said Messinger.Not only is she overcoming obstacles in her own path, she is heading up several community outreach programs to help others find success from their own struggles.
“I wanted law enforcement to be more involved with the community, to increase community relations. To show the community that it’s not just about arresting people,” said Messinger.While awards are nice, this new position is just the start for her.Copyright 2023 WOIO. All rights reserved.
