[Music] hi my name is Sam fine lawang fasabi check I've been with the Milwaukee Police Department for almost 15 years and I work at district number seven I grew up on 23rd in Cherry I have four siblings on the second-oldest and I went to Milwaukee Public Schools Riverside and kill myself and I've always wanted to become a police officer since I was a child I joined the police academy in 2005 the Academy was a little hard for me but I pulled through it I started my career on field training on the Northside but then I got transferred to the Southside what I enjoy most is after going to a call it could be a month later a year later people that you interact with her or that you have helped at your cost they remember you and they say hi and they hey that's the officer that you know help my brother I'm very involved in the community and the Buddhist temple and a Catholic Church in the Laotian community a lot of people look up to me being a police officer and being Laotian and being a female is difficult this isn't an ideal job for our female in our culture so a lot of people respect me in that way I think more woman can do it and more woman should do it just for the simple fact that it's a male-dominated job and that just because the men could do it the woman can do this is an equal opportunity position for anyone that's able to do it I know it's hard for us woman minority but anything could happen if you put your mind into actually wanting to do the job [Music] you
