    In Canada, we prefer older rookies because of the life experience they bring.

    I'm from Houston and live really close to Allen Parkway where this all happened. This is one strong woman. Congratulations for setting a goal and achieving it, especially as a 53-year-old rookie! What an amazing accomplishment. Thanks to all the HPD officers that make our city a safer place to live and work.

    Good for her, she raised her children and now living up to her dream. She may be 50 but I don’t know any 50 year old woman who would have the balls or the strength to make it, probably would have definitely gave up after breaking a leg. Officer Wisdom lol small joke!

    I understand; however, if one can pass the PT and keep up with the training regimen that is all that should matter. I know guys in my Reserve unit in their 40's and 50's outdoing the ones in their 20's during PT.

    Age doesn’t matter as long as you have the will power and determination to get some! I mean there is a 52 year old in the Army’s 75th Ranger regiment one of the toughest and most elite in the whole world. World class war fighters.

    She did anything wrong. A rookie gym officer broke her leg. And she was a HPD officer years ago already but she retired to take care of her children when they were born.
