Deputy Anmole Kaur Is Speaking

We love seeing a young, fierce, badass woman with a badge! Anmole Kaur, nickname Anu (no relation to Batsy) is a Deputy in the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. Her story is inspirational and you can feel how much she’s made for this career as she speaks.
Anu’s interest in becoming a police officer started in high school and never faltered, and she had some resistance along the way. She refused to cry in front of anyone during Academy training (in her driveway didn’t count) and always pushed herself to complete her task (even running the hills).
So often we hear about the drawbacks of being a woman in a male-dominated industry. But here, we hear Anu speak of how being a woman deputy during jail assignment can work to the entire team’s advantage at times.
And that is the word that comes back around during the episode: TEAM. It sounds like Anu has a fantastic team on her side and her team is lucky to have her as a member. Anu, thank you for joining us at the Speaker’s Podium today. You were extraordinary.
Also, thank you for your service.
