1:14Now PlayingRexburg – VO: A female deputy standing tall in her uniform is something Madison County hasn’t seen in nearly seven years.
SOT: “I’ve gotten all kinds of reactions I guess,” Evans said.
VO: After completing an internship program with the Madison County Sherriff’s office Alyssa Evans applied to become a sheriff’s deputy. The Illinois native is the first female hire for patrol deputy since 2009.
SOT: “Something that motivated me was people telling me I couldn’t do it,” Evans said.
VO: She says being in law enforcement has always been her dream.
SOT: “I’ve always been interested in Law enforcement, always wanted to have a career as a police officer,” Alyssa Evans said.
VO: Even though she’s one of the few female patrol officers she doesn’t get treated any differently.
SOT: “For the most part everyone’s super respectful. I get the same respect the guys get,” Evans said.
VO: And to the women considering a position in law enforcement….
SOT: “If it is a dream definitely pursue it. It’s been very rewarding for me and definitely the right place for me so if it’s something a female’s interested in I definitely would encourage them to pursue it,” Evans said.
VO: Reporting from Rexburg, I’m Natalia Hepworth, EastIdahoNews.com
