Brooke Williams was sworn in Sept. 2022. Now, she is making history by becoming the first female member of Huntsville PD's SWAT team.
The Huntsville Police Department announced for the first time in history a female has earned a spot on their SWAT team.This particular officer was sworn in a little over a year ago after leaving her county job to enter the academy.
When she tried out, it never really dawned to her that if she made it, she'd be the first woman to do so.Williams isn't a fan of the spotlight. She's more of a put your head down and work gal."I thought I did what I could do there, and I really wanted a more active role in criminal justice and the community," Williams said.Williams says shortly after completing her field officer training program she took an interest in SWAT.
In fact, tryouts are rigorous. Williams said there's running involved, weightlifting, dummy dragging, and more."It's cool to just kind of work through things, and who wouldn't want to put that uniform on and show up in that truck," Williams said.But she said on any given day, she feels no different than her male team members.
