Three years later she was promoted to sergeant and later excelled to the rank of captain. During her tenure as an officer Arlether also earned her Master Peace Officer Certification, which is the highest certification an officer can attain. Then in 1998 she was honored as “Officer of the Year� and later earned several congressional commendations. Arlether is a veteran officer and has gained a wealth of experience, which includes being a certified Child Abuse and Family Violence Investigator. But she didn’t stop there. In 2001 Arlether graduated from cum laude from the University of Houston and later earned her Masters Degree in Behavioral Science. Then in 2005 Arlether was offered a position with another agency where she created and manages a Victims’ Services Division. Today Arlether is an advocate for abused women and children throughout her city. She believes that it is important to take an active and supportive role in one’s community, and not just sit back and “point fingers�. Therefore, she is preparing to launch her own community service organization. For more information about this phenomenal woman check out her website at:
