1
00:00:00,670 --> 00:00:09,270
>> So here's my last question.

2
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:12,210
What's one special thing
you're going to do for yourself

3
00:00:12,210 --> 00:00:13,440
to honor Women's History Month?

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,990
>> So I will tell you,

5
00:00:16,990 --> 00:00:21,440
I have been at headquarters
now for about six months.

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,370
I was asked to come up here
in this particular role.

7
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:25,850
I wasn't looking for it.

8
00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:30,630
So it's every day about
thinking about my role here,

9
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:35,380
and setting the example,
and thinking more globally,

10
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,500
thinking for what is
the good of my agency

11
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:38,920
versus the field office.

12
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,500
And this month,
thinking about, looking back,

13
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:44,130
how many women do we
have in our ranks?

14
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:46,540
How many do we currently
have at the academy?

15
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:49,320
What can I do to set the example

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,890
to maybe make a difference
in a young woman's life

17
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:54,890
that is contemplating
coming into the ranks?

18
00:00:54,890 --> 00:00:59,600
Because, you know, we tend to
forget, people are watching us.

19
00:01:01,930 --> 00:01:04,570
And so I've really learned
that since I've been here,

20
00:01:04,570 --> 00:01:06,790
but and particularly getting
ready for this panel,

21
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:09,430
it's, like, step back and think,

22
00:01:09,430 --> 00:01:11,030
and remember you're
setting an example.

23
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:13,340
>> That's great. Tonya?

24
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:15,970
>> So one thing that
I have been doing is,

25
00:01:15,970 --> 00:01:17,750
trying to learn
a little bit more

26
00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:20,140
about women
in history this month.

27
00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:23,270
Because as I mentioned earlier,
I think that's very important.

28
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:26,610
There are so many phenomenal
women doing amazing things,

29
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:27,980
and I just don't
really know about it.

30
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:30,660
So I've been doing a little bit
of research this month,

31
00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:35,210
trying to learn about just
different women in the past

32
00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:36,290
and things that they've done,

33
00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:38,460
particularly in
the government arena.

34
00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:42,040
One other thing that I've been
making an effort to do

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,390
is to encourage woman more.

36
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:47,090
I try to be an encouragement
on a regular basis,

37
00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:49,120
but particularly this month,
I've been trying to --

38
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:51,340
using my Facebook platform

39
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:53,420
and just different things
to encourage women.

40
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:55,500
>> That's great. Debbie?

41
00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:00,280
>> So I think what I'll do
is sit down with my son.

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,780
He's six years old,
and I want to sit down with him

43
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:11,370
and talk to him about what it is
I do in my profession,

44
00:02:11,370 --> 00:02:18,780
and expose him to the law
enforcement agency concept,

45
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:20,600
and my role in it,

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,720
to help him to understand
that women are in the workforce,

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,430
and they are in
leadership positions,

48
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:33,820
and hope that he will carry that
on as he's growing up in future.

49
00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:37,680
>> That's great. Well, I'm going
to take Nathalie's advice,

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,490
and I'm going to not
compare myself

51
00:02:39,490 --> 00:02:40,940
and give myself
a little bit of a break,

52
00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:44,630
and keep doing my best,
and try my hardest.

53
00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:49,510
But to celebrate all the other
women around and encourage them,

54
00:02:50,490 --> 00:02:52,400
and give them
a bit of a break, too.

55
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,230
None of us is perfect.

56
00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:57,460
Ladies, I want to thank you
all for your time today,

57
00:02:57,460 --> 00:02:58,480
and for your honesty,

58
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,940
and for sharing your
experiences and your wisdom

59
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:03,510
with, hopefully,
a lot of men and women

60
00:03:03,510 --> 00:03:05,130
who are interested
in watching this video.

61
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:07,360
>> Thank you!
>> Thank you.

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:07,550
>> Thank you.
