We have all heard of the stories of support and encouragement that have enabled an individual to grow into the person they are today – a teacher who tutors a lower performing student who then becomes a teacher; the nurse who gives incredible care to a patient who then advocates on their behalf. But what about a person who experiences trauma and then wants to do something about it for others? This is the case for San Pablo [CA] Police Chief Lisa Rosales. As a child, she was witness to incredible trauma in her community. However, this trauma actually brought community members and law enforcement together as one, thereby motivating her to pursue a career doing the same. As the first female and Latina police chief in her city, this interview with Chief Rosales highlights her as a shining example of resilience and dedication to her community.
